HNCP helps to Make Camden

We are delighted to contribute to We Make Camden’s plans for 2030

The team from Highgate Newtown Community Partners, who will be managing the new building opening later this year, participated in a recent planning event along with Baz, a Trustee from Waitrose who is on secondment with us to help with overall planning. Both Eiran, the HNCP manager, and Sayed our Deputy Manager were present. We were joined at the event by the deputy leader of Camden Council; Georgina Gould.

I am very proud that we have secured Home Office funding for our new deputy manager who has moved into the new flats. Sayed is a former Afghan refugee who will work with our new community of 160 people to ensure there is a positive and inclusive environment for all.

How Under-Fives Services Help Children

  • Many young children have had little opportunity to interact with others of their age due to lockdowns. Healthy development is directly linked to children socialising and playing with others.
  • Under-fives’ speech and language delay is a cause for concern. Drop-ins can provide effective stimulation for communication and language development.
  • Drop-ins offer a gateway to other specialist services.
  • Many families have no parents currently in work. Children under five are disproportionately affected by low incomes.

Sponsor a child with weekly support

Every child deserves a chance in life. Early years are an absolutely critical time for child development. 

By donating £20 a month, you can support one child’s free place at our under-fives sessions. This is invaluable for children who don’t otherwise have access to free play sessions, and will transform their future prospects.

Remember your loved one and make a difference for a child under five

A donation in honour of a loved one ensures their memory lives on, at the same time as providing services for children.

We want to make our community better – where everyone has a chance to succeed, and nobody gets left behind

Our lunch clubs at Highgate Newtown Community Partners welcome all families, ages and communities. Children under five eat for FREE.

No need to book – just turn up.

Together we can make a difference It might not seem like a big deal to many of us – but many people are lonely. People can become socially isolated for a variety of reasons, such as getting older or weaker, no longer being the hub of their family, leaving the workplace, the deaths of spouses and friends, or through disability or illness. Whatever the cause, it’s shockingly easy to be left feeling alone and vulnerable, which can lead to and a serious decline in physical health and wellbeing. Someone who’s lonely probably also finds it hard to reach out.There’s a stigma surrounding loneliness, and people tend not to ask for help because they have too much pride. You can help us support residents in Camden, by donating today – thank you.

Laundry

With the new building opening in spring 2024, we’re opening a laundry for people on low incomes. Our charges will be £3.00 a wash and £1.00 a 15-minute dry – less than half the price of other local laundries.

What we do
We supply eco-friendly washing products (Ecover and Simply Eco-Smart) to our customers, and we can refill Ecover laundry liquid, fabric softener and washing-up liquid containers.

Our large washing machines use less water and are faster and more energy-efficient than domestic machines. And because our water is softened (non-chemically) which reduces wear on the machinery, our machines work more efficiently and last longer.

On top of that, our mains supply is metered, and we have limiters fitted which reduce water wastage.

By supplying eco-friendly products, we reduce the amount of harmful pollutants that are put into the drains every day.

Free Place Scheme

Everyone should be welcome at our all-ages services, and our free place scheme helps make it easier for lower income families to attend – specifically, for Education Plus, Clay Time, Cookery School, sports and 55 Plus.

A panel including representatives from local schools and social services will review applications for free spaces in our programmes each month, giving priority to families struggling to make ends meet and those living in rented housing.

We can only offer free places if people who can afford to pay for services pay into this pot. This means those that can buy another place for a person will be asked to do so.

If you would like to apply for a free place, please fill in this form.
