The Shoreditch Community Association exists to promote the interests of all residents and workers in the Shoreditch community. We also have good relations with our close neighbours in Islington and Tower Hamlets who share the challenges of living and working with a night-time economy.

We are here to maintain and keep the Shoreditch Community vibrant and diverse.  We seek to promote the long term growth of Shoreditch in a responsible and sustainable manner, working to maintain Shoreditch’s unique culture.  We are local individuals, families.

We aim to assist in maintaining good relations between all members of the community; to promote all residents’ rights and the improvement of the area’s amenities, the services provided and the general environment; and to work with relevant authorities and organisations.

Bye bye 2023 – Hello 2024 !

As we can see the end of the year on the horizon and brace ourselves for Christmas party season. We would like to thank you all for your support in 2023. No Doubt there will be more adventures in 2024 as we seek to keep Shoreditch the safe fun vibrant and diverse place it deserves to be.
