Description:

The main aim of Karmand Community Centre is to “Improve the quality of life for local people”
The Centre works towards achieving this by offering services of a high standard which provide a range of educational, recreational, cultural and social opportunities. We aim to work in consultation with local people and other statutory and voluntary agencies in developing our programmes and responding to new initiatives. These focus on the following principal areas:
- Early Years’ Service (for Under 5’s and their carers)
- Play and Youth Provision
- Community Education Classes
- Sports and Fitness
- Provision for, and new initiatives with, Older People
- Venue for Community Groups, Meetings, Rehearsal Space, Private Hire
- Opportunities for Volunteering
- Community- based capacity building
- Being a source of advice and support
The Centre works within an Equal Opportunities Framework, and aims to ensure that all sections and ages within the community have a voice and access to decision making and services within the Centre’s infrastructure. We would therefore aim to promote social inclusion at all levels.

The Main Office is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm
