Johnson Fold Community Centre

After spending many hours applying for grants and funding we have reached a point where we cannot continue. It is apparent that to carry out our proposals and future projects we need a base to work from. We cannot even apply for the funding we need because we have nowhere to run the projects from. We are currently working out of two houses, struggling to find space to store our equipment and with nowhere suitable to run events from. We rely on the good nature of the church in the area to provide us with space to fundraise and hold small events, which is not desirable. In essence we will struggle to move forward, apply for grants and carry out the much needed help that our community needs.

We need a building to support our community, especially during the current economical climate, with more and more of the resident’s struggling. We would like to use the space to hold different clubs and classes for the children and adults in the community, to develop skills such as cooking, reading and academic support. We have many more plans, which we would greatly benefit the community, but we have nowhere to execute them, and now no way to apply for funding as we have no base.
