The Rejuvenation of Wallys

The Wally Foster Community Centre is a large well established Community Centre in South East Hackney situated on Homerton Road and bordering Hackney Marsh. It is less than a mile from the Olympic Park and serves the local community of the Kings mead Estate and surrounding roads and is available for use by all Hackney Residents. It is now the largest Hackney Community Centre.

The Wallys has spearheaded and offered support to young people from the time of its conception in 1976. Many music and theatrical personalities, in the public eye, can attirbute many of their life changing experiences as having taken place at the Wallys.

Local charity groups that offer support to children by way of homework clubs and proffessional advice to residents benefit from the services at Wallys.
