Governance

St Luke's Trust is a financially robust charity with a strong balance sheet and annual turnover of £2.0m+. Like many well-run charities, we generate income from a wide variety of sources including fundraising, service contracts, catering and room lettings.

Just over a third of our funding comes from our historic endowment entrusted to us by generous benefactors hundreds of years ago who. See history for more information.

Vision

The Board of Trustees considered the overall strategic direction of the Trust and agreed that the charity’s purpose was to help in sustaining and changing the neighbourhood to be:

A welcoming, living, neighbourly community in south Islington for all people to contribute to working, playing and learning together for their mutual benefit and well-being.

Mission

St Luke’s will achieve its vision through creating a better sense of community which is facilitated by:

  • Providing a community centre that is a hub for local people and organisations to work, play and learn in South Islington.
  • Providing and enabling services, activities and events that are delivered to a high standard and are open to all.
  • Providing a voice for, and on behalf of, the local area to ensure that services identified as required are provided to meet local needs.
  • St Luke’s is an organisation that will support everyone living locally and values the benefits of community cohesion. However, the focus of our charitable activities seeks to address the most pressing social needs in the area (including child poverty, unemployment, poor health, and isolation and poverty among older people) and particularly recognises those individuals and communities who suffer the greatest social inequality and exclusion.

St Luke's is an accredited London Living Wage organisation and pays all staff the London Living Wage across its Community Centre, Central Street Cafe and Central Street Cookery School.

    About the centre

    We own a large Community Centre on the edge of the City of London, a diverse area containing extremes of wealth and poverty. Our modern Community Centre provides a space for local people to gather and socialise, and for us and other organisations to deliver services and activities for the local community at little or no cost.

  • Garden Room

    With its own private entrance and exclusive use of a terrace garden, this spacious and flexible room offers the perfect setting for conferences, seminars, training events and parties. It is a blank canvas to create the right setting and configuration for your event, and benefits from neutral, stylish décor and lots of natural light.

  • The Loft

    The Loft occupies the whole third floor of the Community Centre, and has exclusive use of an entrance (ante) room, kitchen area and toilet, within this spacious and versatile area. It is bright and airy, and ideal for meetings, conferences, training, seminars or less formal events. Its exposed Victorian steel beams and skylight windows offer wonderful views over the roof tops of London.
