Our Highest Ambition is to empower people to better their lives

WHAT IS IT THAT WE DO? | HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

Spring Bank Community Centre has been operating successfully for over thirty years. We are at the heart of an area with high levels of deprivation and unemployment, but with a vibrant spirit. We aim to continue to meet the needs of our community and to build on the services we already provide (many of which are free), and we are looking to expand in the future. We have always provided a wide range of in-house services, but more recently, we have started to provide outreach services too, giving people assistance in their own homes. Local residents are strongly represented on our elected committee and we meet every month to discuss where we are at and where we hope to go in the future. In addition to community-based community activities, we address unemployment and social isolation and tackle severe deprivation.

How you can help us

We are always in need of donations of technology, such as mobile phones, tablets, or laptops. We then wipe them fully, refurbish if needed and give them out to people who really are in need of these items.
