ST GEORGE'S COMMUNITY CENTRE AND PLAYING FIELDS CHARITY
The Charity runs a local community centre which is used by various groups in the community for a wide range of activities benefiting the community and the wider area. The community centre has proved a huge benefit to the inhabitants of St. Georges, but we are continuing to fund-raise towards the desperately needed phase 2 extension so that extra meeting and storage space can be achieved.
