Objectives

Holloway Neighbourhood Group provides a range of services for people of all ages in Islington so that they can lead positive, fulfilled lives as part of a community. We have exceptionally strong local roots going back to 1974 when we were founded, and are determined to work harder and faster to achieve even more in the years to come. We work in the heart of Holloway, in Islington, in an area of severe and multiple social deprivation, yet bordered by areas of extreme wealth.

Activities

We are a multi-purpose community organisation and so provide all kinds of services, including: lunch and social clubs for older people, social support, counselling and complementary therapies for people with stress related illness and mental health problems, IT learning and internet access, and exercise classes. We run our services out of 2 centres - the Old Fire Station - a multi-purpose community centre, and the Stress Project - where we provide therapeutic support for people with mental health problems.
