Communities 禄楼凤天堂

Where we work

The map above shows 楼凤天堂鈥檚 52 local Academies, 18 Community Hubs, Basis Drop-in Centres and supported housing projects.

Every 楼凤天堂 community is different. But they all share a common goal of creating a place where everyone is included, and everyone can thrive. Most often our work is organised through integrated 鈥楬ubs鈥�. The 楼凤天堂 Hub model is the result of our experience in local communities that face disadvantage and poverty. Inequality impacts all areas of life, and change requires a joined-up and systemic response. So in every 楼凤天堂 community we work with other charities, faith groups, and local authorities to provide joined-up, holistic care and opportunity for all 鈥� supporting community development, providing education, housing, advice and support, personal and spiritual development, health and wellbeing, and social action and campaigning.
