Centre Activities
Monday Activities
The centre is available for Room Hire to hold various courses and meetings throughout the day. We can also provide refreshments from tea and coffee to light lunches. Please contact us for further information at info@cfscc.co.uk
Tuesday Club
Since Covid this club has now amalgamated with the Monday club to create a more vibrant social club. Our members look forward to coming every week and are always very welcoming to new people who join. Quizzes, gentle keep fit, crafts and diamond art are all very much looked forward to but the most important game is of course Bingo which our members thoroughly enjoy.
FREE NHS Non-Smoking Clinic
Provided by the NHS and run every Tuesday 9:30am till 4pm.
A clinic to help and support the cessation of smoking and vaping.
You’re able to self-refer to this clinic.
Come into the community centre to find out more information.
Wednesday Club
The Centre is open on a Wednesday and facilitates our “All in Club”. This club caters to members with complex needs, learning difficulties and mental health issues. Most members who use this club come between 10am and 2.45pm either staying all day or accessing the club as a drop in between those times.
The café is open and members make their own food choices throughout the day. Some members are accompanied by carers or support workers and there are various activities on throughout the day from pool the Wii, Karaoke, Board Games and Quizzes.
The members of this club have forged firm friendships with one another and look forward to coming every week. There are various parties throughout the year which are always greeted with great enthusiasm.
Thursday Raid The Larder
Launched in 2018 and since the cost of living crisis started in 2021 alongside the soaring cost of energy we have expanded this club to include giving out hot meals when our clients come in for food parcels. These meals are available to anyone who comes into the Centre for help, and we give out enough hot food to cover the whole family.
Every Thursday from 10:30am till 11:30am
We politely ask for a £1 donation to help provide this vital service.
We are also in a position at the moment to distribute food vouchers to local families with children and single people who are working but finding it difficult to make ends meet. Because of demand our capacity has more than doubled in the last year and in the cold weather we expect an increase in numbers.
Friday Lunch Club
This famous club started in 2004 and has been the stepping stone for many of the activities taking place in the Centre. Our members can access this club from 10.00am where they meet in the Café for morning coffee before lunch at 12 noon.
Places at our Tuesday & Friday club are by reservation only. We generally have places but need to work a booking system for catering purposes.
Sunday Morning Homework Club
Our Sunday Homework Club is a relaxed, supportive space for children and families to get some homework done together at the community centre. Running every Sunday morning from 9:30am to 11:00am, it’s a calm start to the day with time to focus, ask questions and build confidence around learning.
The session is open to the local community and is designed to be friendly, informal and pressure free.
If you’d like to find out more or check availability, please contact the community centre at info@cfscc.co.uk.
Computer Suite
We offer access to laptops in a friendly, supportive environment at the community centre. The space is available for local residents who may need help with everyday IT tasks, improving computer skills, or working on things like CVs, job searches and online forms.
Community centre staff are on hand to offer guidance and practical support where needed, keeping things simple and approachable.
If you’d like to learn more or check availability, please contact the community centre at info@cfscc.co.uk or pop in for a chat.
