Support us!
The Old School building has been at the heart of the Community for nearly 150 years, and we need your help to ensure it is warm, dry and welcoming for another 150 years. We are embarking on an exciting and ambitious programme of rejuvenation. Head over to our Rejuvenating the Centre page to see how you can help!
Upcoming Event:
Monday 24th February 2025, 7pm – 9pm
You’re invited to a fun evening of good food and good company as we celebrate all that has happened at the Old School Community Centre in the last year, and look forward to what lies ahead. There will be food, socialising, an update on our fundraising progress so far, news on our Rejuvenating the Centre plans, a brief AGM, and news on how you can help us achieve our dreams. We look forward to as many people as possible joining us! Click on the image below for more information:
