L'Arche London

We are a Community of around a hundred people, based in West Norwood, south London.

West Norwood is a vibrant and diverse neighbourhood nestled in the heart of the UK's lively capital city, with easy public transport access to the city centre. Here, you'll find an array of independent cafes, galleries, and a cinema, making it an exciting place to live. 

Our L’Arche Community includes over 30 people with learning disabilities, who we support at home and in our workshops. Alongside them are other community members, volunteers, friends, and neighbours, all of whom play an integral role in fostering a kind and inclusive atmosphere. Additionally, our team of dedicated L’Arche assistants adds further support and care to our core members.

Our Community is rich with talented artists, skilled gardeners, and passionate actors. We aim to create as many spaces as possible where every community member is able to grow and thrive. We also spend time with our neighbours, churches and local community groups, joining in with local festivals and exhibitions, putting our unique stamp on this buzzing area of London.
