St Hilda's East Community Centre is a charity based in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The centre is located in Bethnal Green and its second site, Sonali Gardens, is in Shadwell. St Hilda's East Community Centre works with local people of all backgrounds, offering a wide range of activities. This includes advice services, youth projects, support for parents and pre-school children, work with older people, women’s projects, volunteering placement and carers’ respite. It was originally founded as a settlement in 1889 by the Guild of Cheltenham Ladies' College. == History == After its first building in Victoria Park Square proved unsuitable, St Hilda's East found a permanent base on Old Nichol Street near the newly built Boundary Estate in 1898.〔Phillips, Anna. ''St Hilda's East: The Story of A Community.'' p. 3〕 In 1945, the settlement had also purchased another building across the road, Bruce Hall. The new building stood where St Hilda’s East is today on the corner of Old Nichol Street and Club Row.〔Phillips, Anna. ''St Hilda's East: The Story of A Community.'' p.10〕 In 1964, the building on Old Nichol Street was sold and all activities moved into the site on Club Row, which was extended in 1968. There were no more residents, no live-in Warden, and more paid staff were employed to run the centre.〔Phillips, Anna. ''St Hilda's East: The Story of A Community.''p. 14〕 The buildings were replaced in 1994.〔http://www.mackenziewheeler.co.uk/CaseStudy?case_study=3238〕 In 2005, St Hilda's became a two-site organisation when the Bengali Elders Day Centre moved to a purpose-built facility, Sonali Gardens, in Shadwell.〔Phillips, Anna.
