The ARC is a grassroots community space in Islington, designed by locals, for locals.

Volunteers are the heart and soul of The ARC, running everything from our Food Bank, which feeds 300+ vulnerable people in our community each week, to our vegetable gardens, where we grow fresh produce for local families.

Our spacious venue is home to our Weekly Programme, where you can join yoga classes, bond at coffee mornings, and get creative juices flowing at art and drama workshops. We are also open to hire for events, meetings, family celebrations and more.

Our Coffee Shop focuses on youth employment, giving young local people the experience and skills to work in the coffee industry and beyond, or start a business of their own. Stop by for delicious food and drink from sustainable local suppliers!
