The Holborn and Covent Garden ward in Camden is home for nearly 15,000 residents. Situated within the heart of central London, that resident community faces pressures: social isolation, a lack of outside public space, overcrowded social housing and issues of noise and air pollution. These sit alongside the economic and health inequalities impacting communities across inner-city areas. Balancing those pressures are engaged and active community members who work alongside the strong business community, and the wide array of cultural and academic institutions locally to bring benefit back to the wider community. HCA works with nearly 2200 people every year, receiving one-to-one support, attending group activities and community-wide events, with over 30,000 attendances annually. Our work is delivered across four work strands.
Our vision is for a thriving, vibrant and inclusive local community in Holborn. That community will have opportunities to lead healthy lives, an environment that nurtures residents and a bridge for those who need to achieve their aspirations.
Honesty, Reliability, Integrity, a caring nature and a desire to help and support those in need. They should be friendly, caring and confident.
We believe in suppoorting our local communties, reducing isolation for older vulnerable adults and offering support either face to face or via a weekly phone call.
