The principal activities of the Centre are designed to address the lack of mother tongue and supplementary education available to Eritrean children by organising various classes during weekends. The work of the organisation is integral to striving for balance in preserving cultural identity and enhancing the academic performance amongst Eritrean. The Centre therefore provides improved learning opportunities for Eritrean children to study and improve their mother tongue and other supplementary lessons which in turn help to create a study regime to better cope with the mainstream schoolwork.

The Eritrean Community Centre also organises various cultural events in order to raise the cultural awareness and self-confidence of Eritrean refugees living in London and the SouthEast of England.
