Tucked away behind the Burgess Road shops (through the passage beside McColl’s), there is a hidden jewel – the Swaythling Neighbourhood Centre. It is run entirely by volunteers and received the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service.
The centre is open to all.
Activities include:
The Youth Club which recently re-located from Parkville Road and has made a successful start every Thursday. Junior clubs enjoy Arts & Crafts.
Computer Club runs on Monday evenings, with a six week course. A Computer Surgery to sort out your problems is held on Monday afternoons.
Lunch and Laughs every Tuesday is open to all. Pre-booking is preferred for this delicious home- cooked meal. Work it off with Tai Chi in the afternoon!
The Over 50’s Club is currently fully subscribed, but please do put you name on the waiting list.
Activities of the Social Club include a recent visit to the pantomime and the club has just returned from a trip to Torquay.
Every Friday sees a Bingo Session with super prizes. This evening activity is very popular.
Volunteers to join this happy band are always welcome. Room and hall hire is available for your parties, functions and corporate requirements.
All are welcome; do come along and give us a try!
