LDN Community Hubs
LDN London’s Community Hubs are places for people with learning disabilities to learn skills, socialise and be included in their community.
We are here for people with learning disabilities and autistic people who don’t get much support.
Our Community Hubs
We help adults we support to be more independent, confident and connected. The Hubs are friendly and supportive communities.
We run lots of activities and workshops, as well as events and activities across London. Our regular Coproduction group, made up of people with learning disabilities, meets each month. Together they give feedback and plan future sessions.
Our LDN Community Hubs are free to access, thanks to funding from Westminster Council and generous donations from supporters and funders. Sessions take place at 389a Harrow Road and Victoria Library in Westminster, as well as at The Greenwood Centre in Camden. We also run sessions and visit other places in London.
If you would like to come to The Hub, and you live in Westminster or Camden, simply fill in our referral form opposite and we will get in touch with you.
Sessions at our Hubs
We run sessions at the Hubs under 4 main pillars:
Social pillar – examples include days out, coffee catch ups, club nights, visits to the local and wider London communities
Employment – workshops on building skills into employment, partnering up with other organisations for CV building, interviews and reasonable adjustments
Advisory – encouraging independence by running workshops around health, safety and beyond. We always consult with our members on what these sessions could cover.
Culture – ensure we are culture shifting London to make it an inclusive and accessible place for people with learning disabilities so these workshops include consultations with the NHS, local authorities, organisations and national initiatives.
We often work together with other organisations to run sessions. These include: Westminster City Council, SASH, Westminster Talking Therapies, Matrix and The Advocacy Project.
If there are subjects you would like a workshop on, please let us know.

Funding
Our Hubs are funded by Westminster Council, grants, and donations. We need continued support to provide vital help for people with learning disabilities.
Why people need our Community Hubs
Imagine if the things you did every day were much more difficult. If there were lots of barriers to doing tasks like travelling, socialising, telling the time, paying bills. This is what it’s like for people we support.
People with learning disabilities find it difficult to understand new or complex information. So they need help in their day-to-day life. Learning disabilities also affect someone for their whole life.
At LDN’s Community Hub, we know it’s vital to support people for a long time. But we need funding to do this. Many people with learning disabilities don’t get the help they need.
Without this they often struggle with poor physical health and mental health, loneliness and poverty. They don’t feel safe, and are the victims of crime. This needs to change.
We help people with learning disabilities to make genuine connections and to be safer and healthier in their communities.
Through our Hubs we help people feel like valued members of the community and become more confident and independent.

What our Hub members say
Some days I feel like I have a mountain of rocks on top of me. That stops me from
going about my day-to-day activities. I love coming to the sessions because other people have autism as well and it doesn’t make me feel different. It’s lovely to come to here because things like doodling and stimming is encouraged rather than discouraged, which makes it feel like a safe space.
