The heart of the
community
A community centre is just a
building without the people who use it. Community centres are the
heart of your local area.
They bring together people of all ages and cultures to
participate in learning, practice new activities, get expert help
and advice, improve their fitness or simply catch up with old
friends and make new ones at social events.
Services cater for the very young (and their carers) - with
childcare provision and toddler groups, to the young at heart -
with luncheon clubs and pensioners clubs and everyone in between
with sports, bingo, youth groups and games.
Many centres are run by volunteers and managed by committees of
local people elected by members. This ensures that the community
centre accurately reflect the needs and interests of local
residents.
Most centres have rooms or halls that can be hired for meetings
and private events such as weddings and parties.
To find out more, see our
list of local community centres, which has
location details and a contact number for all centres. Each
council-owned centre has its own page that lists facilities,
activities, and more. Just click on the centre you require from
