Our Vision & Values:
Supporting, promoting, enabling and inspiring park users’ health, well-being, enjoyment, environmental awareness and practice, social cohesion and community spirit, empowerment, co-operation and mutual aid by being responsive to the ideas, desires and needs of park users and the local community in all of its diversity. We want Lordship Recreation Ground to provide one of the best local park experiences in North London.

It is very important to Lordship Hub that it is run with co-operative ethics and values at its heart. This means the involvement of Hub users and the wider community as active members who guide its development, planning and day-to-day running. This is the key to ensuring we continue to provide a good, relevant and useful facility for our community. Our organisation is based on the following Co-operative values and ethics.

There are plenty of other ways to support the Hub. If you would like to help your Hub to continue to employ local people on real living wages, support volunteers, run community events and support groups in the park, you might want to make a regular donation to the Hub.
