The Beginning

The Living Centre overcame the initial resistance it faced when the centre opened in 2017, due to its connection to the Francis Crick Institute by actively working with the Francis Crick Institute and Living Centre Partners to provide a place at the heart of the community that is open to all who need help/support/advice/guidance and would be seen as such by the residents of Somers Town,

As part of their commitment to the community of Somers Town the Francis Crick Institute provided a high quality venue (the Living Centre), funding and long-term security for the development of a new community asset.

Our First 5 Years

During the Living Centres first five years more than 35 different health, wellbeing and advice services were delivered and partners worked annually to deliver the extensive wider programme exceeding 100 organisations, groups, bodies & associations.

Delivery is wider than the physical centre. There is a complex network of local provision, working together to support local people.
