Quem Somos

A Latin American House nasceu em 1983 como a Latin American Association. Desde então, tem servido como um centro comunitário para latino-americanos em Londres e para a população local de Kilburn. Hoje em dia, embora nossos laços com a comunidade local permaneçam fortes, pretendemos ser uma fonte de apoio e informação para a população latino-americana em todo o Reino Unido.

Somos uma instituição de caridade registrada e uma empresa limitada por garantia - também abrigamos um das mais antigas creches de língua espanhola em Londres. Oferecemos assessoria jurídica e social em relação a benefícios, habitação e direito trabalhista, assim como aulas para adultos e um espaço para conhecer gente, compartilhar ideias e desfrutar das ricas culturas da América Latina.
