Community Champions Regent’s Park is a Camden and Islington public health-funded resident-led social action and wellbeing-improving volunteer programme, managed by Fitzrovia Youth in Action and now based at Old Diorama Arts Centre.
Our peer-to-peer projects and events engage residents, help them to understand what they can do for themselves, and ultimately, celebrate what is great in the local community. In other words, it’s run by the community, for the community. The Regent’s Park programme has successfully galvanised local partnerships to make large-scale impact and real change.
The Community Champions are a partnership for ODAC, initiating several projects that have become core parts of ODAC’s programme including the Regent’s Roots Regent’s Park Estate Community Festival, the Regent’s Park Together Community Kitchen, the ‘Stories of Regent’s Park Estate’ project including Story Trail.
The Community Champions also co-designed the Neighborhood Studio, where they meet weekly and contribute to the programming of the space alongside numerous other local groups.
Community Champions meet weekly at 5.30pm in the Neighbourhood Studio at ODAC.
