Haringey Community Centre, London
Part of Wates’ larger £230 million Decent Homes programme in the London borough, a dilapidated community centre was completely overhauled for use by local residents.
It also doubled up as a project office for our Decent Homes work and part of the revamped building has been given over to Camspace – an area funded by the local and council and dedicated to a range of voluntary organisations such as the Citizens’ Advice Bureau along with training and job agencies. The centre can also be booked by local community groups in the evenings.
Through the Wates Family Enterprise Trust, we also helped fund a Youth Community Worker to help us engage with the community in the development of the area’s longer term use.
Local residents have benefitted from the sustainable solution we came up with for the centre as Homes for Haringey chief executive Paul Bridge acknowledged.
“This is a situation where everyone benefits,” he said. “Wates will have a site office at the centre of the community for the duration of the works and the community will benefit from a newly refurbished building thereafter.”
