Background
Royal Docks Learning & Activity Centre (formerly the St John’s Community Centre) was established in 1968. We were set up as a charity under registration number 303176 as funding primarily came through the London Borough of Newham and the Diocese of Chelmsford. Initially, we operated as a youth centre but eventually expanded our remit by providing a wider range of services to the local community. In 2001, our charity was registered as a company limited by guarantee under number 4061669.
In 2010, following consultation with stakeholders, we changed our name to the Royal Docks Learning & Activity Centre.
