Get involved!
We’d love you to get involved, whether you’re interested in joining one of our activities or someone in need of a helping hand. Why not check out our calendar to see what’s on?
We’ve also adapted many of our services in response to the pandemic and provide emergency food and essentials to help the community through the crisis.
Hire Our Facilities!
Are you looking for a venue for a family celebration or to run exercise classes? Or perhaps you’re a local organisation needing a meeting room or a sports pitch? We can help you to host these activities – and many more.
Our facilities are available to all for hire at affordable rates. We love to see our local community groups making great use of them!

How You Can Help
As a local charity, we rely on donations from the public to help us run our services and we offer a choice of options to give to our work.
Do you have some spare time to give a good cause? If so, why not consider volunteering with us!
