About
Welcome
Somers Town Community Centre (STCA) is run by local people for local people who live in the St Pancras and Somers Town Ward in Camden. Our aim is to provide broad based services to local people.
It is run by a Management Committee made up of groups using the centre and individuals who live or work in the local community. They have come together in a common effort to provide low cost activities for people who would not otherwise be able to access them.
