A purpose made community centre ages over time, particularly one that came into being in the first decade of the 20th Centre. Harlow Hall Hub has been providing Norbury community for long period and time has taken its toll but the centre staff have continued to support the community in a decaying structure.

The time has finally come when the building has bared its cracked face to such a degree that structural underpinning was needed to be done as a matter of some urgency. Even in this condition the community still loved the building and the kindness and service it has provided.

Funding needs to be gathered in coming years, both the local community and charitable funds should be secured by 3H. This would present the chance for a major refurbishment and structural repairs would be undertaken and an opportunity to refresh the architectural fabric and enhance the building infrastructure would enable additional community use, capacity, and the diversity and range of activities that the management and volunteers can provide more services in a building of much better restored quality than it has seen in almost 100 years and more.

In late 2022 works were commenced at the site to restore the building in the ‘Phase 1 Works implementation’, which will in themselves provide greater capacity, and serve a broader client base for old and young in all sections of the community.
