In the charity's own words
The charity was established to raise the funds required to build a community centre. There were many groups using a decaying Scout Hut which was no longer fit for purpose and had to be demolished. Funds were raised and a new centre was built. The primary aim of the charity now is the on-going running and maintenance of the new centre for local community groups on a non for profit basis.
