Holborn Community Association are proud to be celebrating our 35th birthday in 2024. To celebrate, we have lots of events, activities and work happening throughout 2024 and we’d love to your organisation to be part of those.
what we do
Who we help
We provide a lifetime offer of support to over 2000 people from across the area. That’s everything from play for young families through to support for the most vulnerable older people.
At the heart of the work is bringing people together, creating spaces and places where people have fun and feel safe. Within that atmosphere we’re able to build connections between people from all walks of life to help themselves, understand each other and create a strong community.
People forget that as well as being home to business, creative industries and cultural institutions the area we work in (Holborn, Covent Garden, Bloomsbury and beyond) is home to nearly 20,000 people! Many children and families face significant poverty, overcrowding and poor living conditions.
Older people face the same challenges as well as high levels of isolation and loneliness. HCA also work with the growing numbers of people facing challenges from increasing physical and mental health issues, and well being and environmental risks tied to living in the area.
how you can help
The single most powerful way your organisation can support our work is through ongoing donations. Flexible long term funding helps us do our job. You can be confident that funds are spent only for purposes within our charitable objects and that we know the most appropriate ways to use funds. We’ll report back you on how funding helps meet our wider organisational outcomes:
- Improved health and well-being
- Increased skills, confidence and aspiration
- Reduced isolation and stronger peer support networks
Supporting HCA in this way involves your organisation in making a contribution to a collective local effort. It helps HCA to be more responsive to emerging needs across the community and makes us a stronger, more resilient organisation in the long term.

Support young people’s achievement. Sponsor our gymnastics club’s participation in regional competitions.
With judging fees, entry fees and travel it can cost nearly £100 for each child to participate – that’s beyond the reach of many of our families.
Help us make sure everyone gets the chance to shine and be recognised by supporting us.
Alternatively, help set up our toy library or fund a trip to the seaside for older adults.
Meet basic needs for older adults Our lunch club for older adults serves over 3500 healthy, low cost lunches every year.
The vulnerable older adults we work with often don’t have the capacity or motivation to cook for themselves. It also offers a financially accessible way for many others to come together throughout the year. £5000 would help us to meet a quarter of our year on year costs (food, overheads and our brilliant chefs).
Alternatively…give £5000 to run 3 women only exercise classes for a year or sponsor our annual community exhibition.
Our urgent ask right now relates to children and young people’s groups based on local estates.
These are areas with high rates of income deprivation as well as poor health outcomes and a lack of opportunities for children and families.
Our groups offer children weekly arts, play and STEM activities that they wouldn’t otherwise access. Families can afford it and crucially can support their children’s attendance because travel is minimal. These spaces offer creative learning, a safe space for children and insight into a wider world. Seeing people like them involved in the arts of sciences increases children’s ambition and belief in themselves.
£15,000 meets our costs for facilitators, materials and the staff that run sessions, build trust with families and support them to help their children’s growth
With £50,000 worth of support we can increase our volunteer numbers and build up vital ongoing resources for the community – using surplus food donations, redistributing hygiene products and reducing digital exclusion.
