In the charity's own words
The current Management Committee voluntarily manage a community centre named the Jubilee Hall, gifted to the people of the Parish many years ago. In 2007 we inherited a mismanaged Charity and neglected centre, since when we have embarked on a major development strategy that includes capacity building, compliance, accountability, community consultations and a structural refurbishment project.
