About the Centre
The Cabrini Campus is a brand new community centre for Honor Oak. It is a large former primary school building which we have been working together to transform over the last year.
Our mission for the Cabrini Campus is to create a volunteer hub
where people will be supported to share their gifts skills and talents for
the benefit of the community.
OUR JOURNEY
Once a Catholic school shaped by the presence and mission of Saint Francesca Cabrini and her religious sisters, these walls have long been a home to learning, faith and care.
Though the classrooms lay empty for a season, the mission continued its work through renovation and hard work, lovingly carried forward by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart and the faithful ministries of the lay communities who continue to nurture this space. ​
Today, the halls echo again with children's laughter and eager footsteps. Outside, families gather to learn, play and explore nature. Artists create in once quiet rooms. Nurseries welcome new generations and the learning hub creates a safe space for children to grow in knowledge and friendship.
OUR COMMUNITY
Our Centre provides multiple spaces for informal drop in activities, organised classes and groups, one to one support sessions, larger community gatherings, social events, cooking, food spaces and much more.
The centre will serve as a beautiful space where neighbours
will have opportunities to meet and share their faith, unique gifts, skills and talents. We will be able to further support this by offering the community a free space to harbour solutions for the challenges the community face themselves.
The centre will not only serve the immediate community but its excellent
transport links and close proximity to the train networks alongside having a carpark means that it will serve a much larger area.
The Catholic Mother's Apostolate based here, is evidence of the warmth and beauty spread from this centre, sharing its space with local families, communities from other parts of the map, fathers from around London and so on...
