Duncan Place Community Hub - A Charity.
Duncan Place Community Hub is a registered charity operating as a profit-for-purpose social enterprise. After being under the threat of demolition, the building was saved by the local community. The Duncan Place charity was established, and funds were raised for a full refurbishment. Now a thriving and busy community centre in Leith, the hub has a growing programme of groups, classes and events. This brings folks together to share and learn, increase well-being, and to reduce social isolation.
The building is also home to several other charities all making a positive social impact in Leith.
Rather than pay full rent to a private landlord, the tenants pay a below-market value rent, have a secure home and are happy that the funds raised are used to provide free and low-cost community activities
