The Homestead
For a bird’s-eye view of the Community Centre, its general layout and entrances - please click here.
Founded in 1945, we are one of the oldest community associations in the country. As a registered charity, we are independently managed by a board of volunteer trustees - elected by the user groups and individual members who are affiliated to the Association. We have a small team of dedicated office and caretaking staff, but a great deal of activity is undertaken by volunteers.
Our one-acre site sits in a conservation area and our ‘Homestead’ building is Grade 2 listed. The original farm structures have been extended and improved over the years to create a large complex of community buildings.
We receive no public funding for the running of the facilities - the costs are covered entirely by income from our users. On top of that, renewing and improving the facilities depends heavily on fundraising and donations.
Here is a link to our most recent annual report and accounts.
In 2017 we began an ambitious series of improvements to our main entrances, our gardens and the surroundings of the site.
