ROWLANDS GILL AND DISTRICT COMMUNITY CENTRE
Our centre is self-financing and managed by volunteers. We provide a pleasant venue for local residents and groups. Activities include art, ladies choir, W.I. and day centre for the elderly (run by volunteers), also yoga and pilates for adults plus karate classes for children. We have fund raising events i.e. craft & plant sales, afternoon teas, music and social events throughout the year.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves decreased to £31,780 from £42,442 in the prior year, a reduction attributed to significant expenditure on tree removal and car park repairs. The trustees consider the charity a going concern, noting that sufficient funding has been secured for the current year and the immediate future is secure.
