OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORT

OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORT

Brixton Wings is a vibrant hub in the heart of Lambeth, serving as a support base for diverse community initiatives and grassroots activities. From music sessions to showcasing the work of talented local artists, our centre is a space where creativity, connection, and empowerment come together. Whether fostering early childhood development, tackling food insecurity, or offering educational programs, we’re committed to uplifting our community.

Start and Restart Workshop:
Supporting Small Charities to Move Forward

Brixton Wing began the Start and Restart Workshop to support small charities and community groups. Fifteen organisations met in an informal, inclusive session to share ideas, build confidence, and plan next steps. Facilitators Eoin and Martyn from Integrate gave practical funding advice for start-ups and a clear, balanced look at AI’s benefits and risks, helping attendees gain focus, improve their plans, and connect with peers.

Hosted at Brixton Wings, Bridging The Gap brought together the evocative works of local artist Lil Sullivan and photographer Christopher iCha. This dual ‘Brixhibition’ explored the vibrant, evolving nature of Brixton, a place the artists have called home for decades. Through their unique perspectives, the exhibition framed the “ever-changing multi-dynamic throng” of this iconic neighbourhood, capturing its energy, challenges, and resilience.

Brixton Wings, a lively community hub at the heart of Lambeth, provided the perfect setting for this thought-provoking showcase. Known for supporting grassroots initiatives and fostering creativity, the centre empowers the local community through programs addressing food security, education, and the arts. Bridging The Gap exemplifies this mission, celebrating Brixton’s cultural richness and the stories of its people.

In partnership with the Felix Project and Lambeth Healthy Living Platform, Brixton Wings hosts the Thursday Food Hub a vital resource for families and elderly carers in the Angell Town estate. This initiative provides essential food support to local families involved in our After School activities and extends care to elderly grandparents raising grandchildren and isolated households.

The Food Hub addresses food insecurity while fostering a sense of community, ensuring no one feels left behind. By working together, we create meaningful and sustainable support systems, building a healthier and more connected Lambeth.
