We are delighted to announce that in partnership with St Anne’s Church Highgate there has been another successful bid for funding, this time resulting in an award of £9,600 from the National Lottery Community Fund ‘Awards for All’.

Planning permission has now been granted for the conversion of a garage on Stoneleigh Terrace into a wood workshop. Thanks to combined grants from Camden under Section 106 planning legislation and the Community Infrastructure Levy the project can now go ahead.
Along with HNCC clubs, six local schools are expected to use the new facilities as part of the national curriculum. Children from the Whittington Estate will also be offered free sessions. We look forward to welcoming you to a new purpose fitted workshop in due course!

We are delighted to announce another successful application for grant funding by one of our partners; the Highgate United Reformed Church on Pond Square. The National Lottery Community Fund has awarded £9,600 towards the ‘Hub 4 All’ project which the HNCC run in partnership with the URC at the Pond Square Chapel.
The HNCC played a significant role in helping our partners to win this funding. Working together with partners for mutual benefit in the community maximises opportunity for all.
