Our activities
Claremont: Together We Matter
We are a very friendly, open, and welcoming community. We have a large programme of groups, classes and projects aimed at being creative and healthy in body and mind, and at helping to develop real and lasting friendships. Most of our activities are for people aged 55 and over. We also provide a low-cost psychotherapy service for Islington residents (18+).
Activities for People Aged 55+
Our classes and groups meet at our centre in Angel, Islington. Please check our What’s On! page for more information. There are over 35 regular weekly classes, as well as lots of special projects, events, and visits, with hundreds of people participating each week. We’re super-friendly, so please come by and see what’s going on!

How we help
Quotes from Claremont members:
Customer reviews
“A wonderful, infectious sense that everyone is welcome, and that nobody is judged.”
“It’s gentle, not judgmental, and I don’t feel so lonely anymore.”
“I have been struggling to keep connected. I don’t really have any family and friends – Claremont was my main place to see people. It is great to have someone listen to how I’m feeling. I’m so grateful for your calls.”
“These Zoom classes have been my lifeline to the real world, I’m able to socialize with people again and it has been an absolute blessing.”
