Purpose / Mission

Registered Charity 1177133

At its core, underpinning the work of the Community Centre are some charitable objectives – the purpose/reason for existing/being.

‘Objects’ are a natural part of founding and forming a charity, and a Trustee Board ensures that actions are lawful, transparent through reporting, and reflect its values.

The Community Centre aims to tap and combine existing resources – human, natural, built, financial – in order to improve the lives of ordinary people and neighbourhoods.

The Community Centre is a communal resource, and securing this asset for the benefit of the community represents a foundational step on our lifelong journey towards making our neighbourhoods feel stronger and safer, and people lead more fulfilling lives.

The life and the work that takes place together under this roof could be described in a lot of ways but whatever it is there is magic when people come together to get things done.

While our focus remains firmly in the moment, the architect’s concept above [circa 2008] captures a vision for how the building/grounds may continue to serve neighbourhoods into the future – one step at a time.
