KEY DETAILS
Maiden Lane Community Centre and it’s Partners Queens Crescent Community Centre and NW5 project are based in the heart of 3 extremely volatile areas of Camden where some of the most active gangs have operated for many years. The young people we work with are constantly at risk of being drawn into criminal activity because of their postcode.
Our project keeps young people safe, by breaking down postcode barriers by bringing together young people from the 3 areas to participate in positive activities and make new friendships with Young People they may go to school with but do not speak because of which postcode they live in.
