About
Easington Lane Community Access Point (ELCAP) is an independent community hub based at the Access Point on Brickgarth in Easington Lane. As a community-led organisation, we deliver a wide range of services and activities designed to respond to local needs, providing practical, joined-up support to help individuals and families overcome everyday challenges.
Established in 2001 through the merger of two long-standing charities, our roots stretch back over a century. This rich history has helped shape a trusted organisation with a strong reputation for making a real difference in the community.

Resourcing
We’re always on the lookout for funding, opportunities and new ideas to bring back into the community (we like to keep the good stuff flowing in).
