Who We Are

We Are Boiler House Spaces

Founded in 2010 by two Hackney residents to foster local connections and opportunities in a safe space, we now manage The Boiler House (N16) and Myddleton Grange Community Hall (N4).

We are dedicated to unlocking the immense potential of strengthening community networks and the support and capital they generate, both in positive and challenging times.

Our welcoming, person-centred community spaces are vital for enabling members of our community to stand in their power, share their lived experiences, and develop solutions to challenges.

We actively facilitate inclusive environments that encourage the delivery of projects, services, events, sessions, workshops, social gatherings, and more. We believe that access to these spaces is essential for building community resilience, fostering connections, and sharing knowledge, skills, experiences, and culture.

We are committed to valuing lived experience and empowering our community to thrive together.
