South Kilburn’s population is talented, creative and driven. It is an area with many different communities. However it does have higher than average levels of unemployment, poverty, and health concerns, as well as typically lower incomes for those who do work. The South Kilburn Trust was founded in 2011 to help address these issues and create new opportunities.

In 2014, the Trust took over the running of South Kilburn Studios, a well known business incubator and start-up space, which subsequently led to the refurbishment and re-opening of much loved old building into a community and workspace hub, The Granville, in May 2018.
