Clemenstwood/Mayfield Community Centre launched again!

We are pleased to announce the reopening of the Clementswood/Mayfield Community Centre, a project set up to build community spirit 2 years earlier.  

A grant of  £5000 from the Church Urban Fund “Mustard Seed” grant and £5000 via their “Near Neighbours” grant, has made this scheme possible.  

Community cohesion is the main focus of the community centre, with interfaith

harmony essential to this new programme.  

The centre (address as in header of this blog) is to be open for Public Meetings every Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 19:00 - 22:00.  

If you know of any local groups that might wish to provide a workshop or provide a seminar on a local subject please make contact.

Kind regards

Wilson Chowdhry Project Chairman
