About HWBCA

Vision

Our vision is to be the beating heart of our thriving, connected community.

Mission

We connect, support, and inspire our community through inclusive activities, events, and accessible spaces that bring people together.

Values

Our values shape everything we do. They guide how we welcome people into our spaces, how we work with partners, and how we make decisions on behalf of the community we serve. Together, they form the acronym HEARTS, reflecting the spirit and purpose of our organisation—practical, people‑centred, and committed to making a positive difference.

These values underpin our approach and define what residents, volunteers, partners and staff can expect from us every day.

H – Hospitality

We offer a warm welcome to all, creating safe, inclusive, and friendly spaces where everyone feels valued and at home.

E – Empowerment

We help people grow in confidence, ability, and independence—whether they’re young people at The Warren, young adults in Link2, or older residents at our Café.

A – Accountability

We manage our resources responsibly and maintain the trust of our community by acting transparently and with integrity.

R – Relationships

We work in partnership with local schools, councils, health services and other organisations to maximise the positive impact we can make together.

T – Togetherness

We exist to serve our community. Every decision we make puts local people first, ensuring our services reflect what residents want and need.

S – Support & Wellbeing

We’re here to improve lives. Our activities and spaces support people’s physical, mental and emotional wellbeing in a friendly and inclusive environment.

Where to find us

We operate two centres. Hatch Warren Community Centre is our administrative headquarters, and where the majority of our hall hire options are located. Beggarwood Community Centre is where the Café-in-the-Park is located. We have space for hire at Beggarwood too, and this benefits from a beautiful outlook over the park.

Both centres host various clubs and groups.
