On-Purpose

South Kilburn Trust

South Kilburn's population is talented, creative and driven. It is an area with many different communities. However, it does have higher than average levels of unemployment, poverty, and health concerns, as well as typically lower incomes for those who do work.

The South Kilburn Trust was founded in 2011 to help address these issues and create new opportunities. In 2014, the Trust took over the running of South Kilburn Studios, a well known business incubator and start-up space, which subsequently led to our success in winning funding from the Mayor of London, in partnership with Brent Council, to refurbish much loved old building into a community and workspace hub, The Granville, which re-opened in May 2018.

The placement will be supporting the Trust's long term ambitions, in particular around assessing local needs, marketing and communications, developing our charitable services, and helping us plan for the second phase of our redevelopment plans.
