About

A little insight into what ELCAP does:

Easington Lane Community Access Point is an independent Community Hub operating from the Access Point on Brickgarth in Easington Lane. As a community led organisation ELCAP offers a range of services and activities in order to provide holistic solutions to the problems and challenges our community faces.

ELCAP was formed in 2001 through the merger of 2 former charities so our history goes back well over 100 years and as such as gained a great reputation for what it does.

The role of ELCAP as a Community Hub is:

  1. Service Provision – ELCAP provides local services as well as acting as a signpost to other services in the local area.
  2. Resourcing – ELCAP brings funding and opportunities to the community from many external sources.
  3. Advocacy – ELCAP acts as a voice of the community at local and regional level helping to bring about change and regeneration.
  4. Supporting – ELCAP supports other local organisations through making referrals for their services as well as helping in terms of organisation (governance) and fundraising.
  5. Strengthen community participation – ELCAP supports the local community in becoming an integral part of local decision making.
