Maiden Lane Community Centre

Maiden Lane is a vibrant community centre located in Camden. Our users come from Maiden Lane, Agar Grove and St. Pancras Way Estates, Elm Village and Camden Square, as well as across Camden. The Centre provides services and activities for everyone in our community and cater to a wide range of interests and age groups. The Centre is well-equipped, particularly with computers that are supplied, managed and maintained by Camden Online. Basic computer courses offer free access to the World Wide Web and e-mail. Maiden Lane also provides accredited training and job search assistance. Maiden Lane Community Centre provides one Youth Drop-in a week with a wide range of activities taking place including sports, cooking and PS4. We use these sessions to consult with the young people about the programme of activities. We also work with Infinity Elite Cheerleaders to provide one Senior Cheerleading session a week. We partner with Kentish Town Community Centre to provide a 5-a-side Football Tournament once a week. Our holiday schemes for young people include activities days, trips and residentials. The Centre has a high-tech sound recording studio. As part of our youth provision, we run sound recording sessions for young people to learn how to use the equipment and make music. The Centre also offers pre-school services, horticulture opportunities and Camden Community Radio. The Camden Town Shed is a leading example of a volunteer led project. The Shed provides workshop space where older people can work on practical projects. We provide accommodation for the Ward Councillors Surgeries and for meetings and events that provide information and support to local people and organisations. The Maiden Lane Food Bank is provided in partnership with Sainsbury's, and it supports some of the most vulnerable people in Camden Borough.
