Welcome

Community Focus (CF) is a truly inclusive multi-arts centre based in Barnet that works to encourage members of our community of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to access and participate in the arts, to gain creative confidence and to challenge barriers through integration and innovation.

We are a receptive organisation who understands the needs of our communities – because we communicate, listen and care. A key strand of our strategy is to remain flexible and open to new partnerships. This approach means that if you have an idea regarding community projects, then you can drop in, run it by our team and we’ll find a way to make your vision a reality.

Our team consists of handpicked arts professionals who have the rare ability to lead on courses that are made up of clients with wide-ranging abilities. Some of our classes are more suitable for people with mental health issues; other classes may suit wheel chair users whilst most of our courses and projects are designed so that everyone can join in regardless of ability.

We attract: retired doctors, older people, unemployed people, students and people with a wide-range of abilities who just want to create art of an excellent standard.

We believe that our innovative and sustainable approach to delivering arts-based programmes will have a regenerative impact on our communities and beyond.
