Silkstone Community Centre
Community Development
We want to improve and develop the activity rooms, so they can be used by more classes such as yoga, craft, pilates and dance.
About this cause
Silkstone Community Centre was formed to raise funds to build a Community Centre. It was opened in 2015. The Mission for the Centre is to provide facilities for use by the whole community for recreation and education activities. To work in partnership with and support voluntary and community groups and local residents in a common effort to deliver activities that advance education, promote social inclusion and community cohesion. To identified by the local communities in the interests of social welfare, recreation and leisure with the object of improving the health and social wellbeing of the communities of the Parish of Silkstone and the surrounding areas. Groups now using the Centre include brownies, guides, scouts, dance school, craft club, fitness groups and discussion groups.
