Our Mission

A Therapeutic Community in the Heart of Southwark

Treasure House (London) CIC exists to restore the Livesey Building and bring it back into meaningful use for Southwark's residents. We believe in the power of place — that a beautifully restored, community-owned building can become a catalyst for healing, learning, and belonging.

Our model is rooted in therapeutic community principles: shared responsibility, mutual support, and an inclusive environment where young people and adults can grow. We offer alternative education pathways, wellbeing programmes, and creative arts alongside heritage activities.
