About us

Lordship Hub was built in 2012 in the middle of Lordship Rec as part of a large regeneration project, part-funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund with match funding from the local council. It is a community-run co-operative that welcomes the involvement of local residents and aims to provide the services that are needed and wanted in the area.

We now have eight part-time staff and over 50 volunteers, and our rooms are hired out for classes, events and parties. We signed a 25-year lease with Haringey Council in March 2019. Whilst we do not have to pay rent, the Hub must fulfil certain obligations, such as offering free meeting space for park groups, providing toilets for park users and engaging local volunteers. We don’t receive any statutory funding, so our running costs have to be covered by the café, room hire, fundraising and donations.

The way the Hub is run, and its ethos, mean that it is not just a building serving park users: it aims to go further by being a positive force for change in the area. Staff and volunteers build partnerships with other local organisations and residents to improve the park and run community events, activities and meetings that encourage the protection of the local environment, the general improvement of Tottenham for all its residents, and engagement in cultural and social activities.

We are also a member of the Haringey Community Centres Network (HCCN).
