We started as a passionate voluntary group in the London borough of Hackney. Our original objective was to create a safe space for young people living in what was known as the London’s ghetto. Youth centre’s were being closed down at an alarming rate. We could only dare to dream about a brighter future. 

We found a derelict house, which had been abandoned for many years and fell into total disrepair. We got to work and carried out the repairs to the broken windows, internal damp and mould, etc. We painted and decorated the house without any funding from any recognised organisation. We raised donations amongst ourselves, utilised our resources and with the will of the community, we made the house habitable. It became a safe and secure space for young adults who had ambition in a hostile neighbourhood. Using the door number of the derelict house, Club 106 was born. 

We self-funded sports activities, built a music studio and an IT training suite to engage the young people in our community. Following our voluntary group’s popularity, it was decided to step up our initiatives and become a registered charity. In January 2000, the Charity Commission of England and Wales granted us Registered Charity status. Club 106 Community Project became official.

Over the years we have piloted many projects. We currently manage 30 projects to address the growing needs of our community.

Our motto is: “Dare 2 Dream” 

If you can Dare 2 Dream, we can inspire you to turn your dreams into reality.
