SHAK (South Hampstead and Kilburn Community Partnership) is a resident led charity based on the iconic Alexandra and Ainsworth estate* in the Kilburn ward of Camden NW London, an area of high rates of deprivation and poverty but big potential. Our mission is to enable young people and adults to overcome barriers to economic and social inclusion. We engage with residents and young people through a range of activities based at the SHELL Centre (a well-equipped resource centre) and the ARC youth club and music studio. Through these we offer a range of exciting and highly creative projects working in innovative ways with the local community. You can read more about our recent work and achievements in our 2024 annual report here Shak was established in 2003 and has a committed board of 6 trustees, staff team and volunteers who have played a key role in supporting the community during the recent COVID 19 and cost of living crisis. Impressive recent growth means that we wish to strengthen the board through the appointment of individuals who ideally have links to the area, time and skills to contribute towards the good governance of the organisation and support our work in the local community.We are seeking 2-3 new trustees with skills and time to commit to fundraising.
