The Loughborough Community Centre (LCC) is situated in an area of high-violence and high deprivation. The LCC provides a safe space for hundreds of young people and their families to come together, to learn and to grow. The Centre is in Max Roach Park, in Brixton, South London.

Youth killings are taking place on doorsteps in the neighborhood. Constant exposure to violence for children and young people, paired with a lack of resources, takes a significant toll on their mental health. Staff at the centre often observe children with the signs and symptoms of chronic stress, anxiety, and a sense of hopelessness, this can have lifelong consequences. It's a harsh reality, but a real one.

Our goal is to address the impact of this violence and deprivation on young people in an
immediate, proactive and strategic manner.

Our primary focus for 2024 -25 is the redevelopment of our adventure playground—a space where children, young people, and families can play, learn and thrive. This new playground, designed by and for the community, represents a significant step forward in providing much needed, dynamic play spaces for our underserved community and serves as a gateway to LCC's broader range of support services.
