Community centres are all about providing a place for the community to connect & socialise. Whether the community centre is religious in nature or has been created to provide support to a specific section of the community, it undoubtedly connects people from all walks of life. Community centres demonstrate how wonderfully we can all work together.
Race, age, gender, class, education & other protected characteristics should not be central to the ethic of a community centre, as a community centre is for everyone. People are valued for their own individuality, coming together under the umbrella of the community. Community centres also offer family and friends the chance to really connect with one another and take part in an activity together. If a family unit rarely spends quality time together, then attending a weekly class could be perfect. As a bonus it’s also a great way to meet other families within the community. There are many reasons why people volunteer. Some want the opportunity to give back do great things (kindness is good for our health, after all). Others require a break from day-to-day life and find solace in volunteering. There’s always new people to meet, new skills to learn & activities to take part in. It gives people a chance to build their confidence & feel part of a team. Community centres bring people together to work on wider community projects, such as organising clean-ups or working on improving a gardening space. It’s not all about what goes on within four walls. Community centres outreach to the wider community & work to improve the town, city and overall local environment for everyone.
