Octopus is a network of multi-purpose community centres. Each community centre is a designated community hub and currently funded by Islington Council as a strategic neighbourhood partner.
Our urban Community Centres are thriving community spaces. They are led by passionate local people who live and work in the area and focus on community engagement to ensure what they deliver is what is needed locally. That's why we love Community Centres.
Through two Network-wide projects delivered over a period of eight years, we've committed to playing an active role in improving the health and well-being of our diverse communities. We are committed to prevention and early intervention as a programme of work.
Three large-scale projects delivered over eight years has resulted in an Islington-wide community-led programme of initiatives and activities focusing upon urban growing, park and open space improvement, environmental education, and now estate based urban food growing. We are committed to supporting growing communities and inspiring a growing culture.
