Wickway Community Centre Association

The Wickway Community Centre was set up as a Registered Charity in 1989.  The local community campaigned hard to gain funding for the current purpose-built building, which was completed in 1997.  The Centre provides Social, Recreational, and Educational Opportunities for the Community in Peckham Ward.  The key objectives of the centre are to improve the quality of life of local residents through:

• Tackling isolation

• Expanding social and economic opportunities, providing a non-judgemental service.

• To learn new skills, improve self-esteem, confidence, including people that are disenfranchised.

• Meeting the needs of all sections of the community, Young People, Women, Single Parents, Unemployed People, and Senior Citizens. Providing flexible space as a resource for the community.

There are vibrant new communities from Eastern Europe, Vietnam, Kosovo, Africa, who are settling into Peckham Ward.  The Community is now becoming more diverse than ever before.

 Therefore, we at Wickway have a duty to reach out and embrace these new communities, for the Centre’s sustainability and survival. An important part of this process is to have quarterly Community Consultation Meetings where members from the local community can meet the Management Committee, put forward their ideas, Community issues, and Social Factors that impact upon them.
