A bit about us
Why are we here?
At CAWH (The Community Association for West Hampstead) we aim to improve the lives, health, and wellbeing of the people who live here in West Hampstead, focusing on those most in need, especially younger and older people. We strive to bring people together and to create an enjoyable, inclusive and sustainable place to live!
What we do
We run a whole range of activities from our community centre, everything from Zumba to Art classes, from Conversation French and much much more. Have a look at our Activities page to find a class just for you!
We also hire out our community hall for private use. Together with our kitchen it is ideal for parties and meetings.
How can you get involved?
Our volunteers help promote the Charity's work whether it’s running classes, supporting events or distributing leaflets.
We have a board of Trustees who are volunteers from West Hampstead. Together they bring a diverse blend of skills and experience to our board, setting the direction and managing the charity.
If you’d like to get involved, we’d love to hear from you!

Who Funds Us?
CAWH is an independent Charity. We rely on funding from Trusts and Foundations, hall hire income, donations, charges for activities, and fundraising events. We do not receive a regular local government grant.
We run the CAWH 101 Club, which has a monthly draw for a prize of £100 in return for a stake of £5 a month; we aim to raise £5000 a year once we reach our target of 101 members. Our club is supported by a generous donor.
