Our History Mary’s was set up by St Mary’s Church in 2009 to manage and develop its long-established community work so that it could grow and flourish meeting the needs of the local area in and around Islington. Children and young people have been an important focus of this work but not exclusively. St Mary’s Neighbourhood Centre and Crypt following its refurbishment in 2009 have become a busy hub for a very wide range of community activities welcoming thousands of visitors every year of all ages and backgrounds. Thanks to the generosity of St Mary’s church sharing its buildings, community activities have multiplied over the years and now run seven days a week from early morning to late night. Find out more about current services or how you could get involved. 2019 marks our 10th anniversary. The past ten years has been a decade of growth and development for the organisation in all areas of our work and we have a series of celebration events and activities to mark the occasion.
