Since acquiring the site in December 2019, The ECDC has been busy getting to know the local community and has supported a number of organisations and charities based in the area.
We’ve been delivering a whole range of community uses on site including opening the Community Hub in June 2022, refurbishing homes on Empress Place and Seven Stars, launching an annual Community Fund worth £180,000 and opening a new public art space opposite Earl’s Court Tube station, hosting a range of art installations and events.
