Castlehaven Community Association

Who we are

The Castlehaven Community Association (CCA) is a vibrant and innovative award-winning charity that’s been at the heart of Camden Town for over 39 years. CCA was established in 1986 as a result of a group of local residents concerned about the lack of local facilities for children and older people. Since its inception the charity and company limited by guarantee has always been managed by a voluntary board of local resedents.

We bring people together across generations to build a stronger, more connected community. Our 4-acre site includes community parks, a sports pitch, a horticulture hub, and purpose-built facilities for learning, creativity, and wellbeing. We have 5 community projects: Afters/Activ8 for children, young people and families, Ageactivity 60+ for older people, Health Haven for adults with chronic health conditions, who are refered through local GP's, Health organisations, an Environmental Project for all ages dealing with food growing, climate change and education and our emergency Food Bank providing food and support with wrap around care. We work with over 10,000 per year and a variety of events and annual community festivals too. We are a buzzing and busy hub of community activity.
