Highfields Centre, located in Leicester, has been an integral part of the local community since its opening in 1974 as an inner-city community centre. The centre is located in the heart of a vibrant and diverse community and has served as a hub for community engagement and support for many years.

Highfields Community Association (HCA), a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity, has been at the forefront of the centre’s management and operation since December 2010. The association has been instrumental in implementing a wide range of community initiatives and activities and has achieved numerous nationally accredited kite marks, including Investors in People.

As a full member of Locality, a national network of community organisations, HCA has access to a wealth of resources, training, and support, which it utilises to enhance its services and strengthen its impact on the local community.

With a team of dedicated staff and volunteers, the centre offers a range of programs and services that cater to the diverse needs of the community. These include educational classes, employment support, health and wellbeing services, youth activities, and more. The centre is committed to providing accessible, inclusive, and high-quality services that meet the centre of the community it serves.
