Where People Meet: How we celebrate, sustain and reimagine community centres
Community centres are a core and enduring part of the UK’s social infrastructure. They are hubs of social connection, stewards of health and wellbeing, vital partners in their local ecosystems and important physical assets that communities can depend on. Our report sets out what can be achieved if we celebrate, sustain and reimagine community centres for the future. It makes the case for meaningful investment, effort and focus at both the national and local level to dismantle the challenges standing in their way. It calls for their true value to be recognised and nurtured. New Local’s Sara Masters, Crispin Truman from the Rayne Trust, the Sutton Centre’s Sam Kirkby and Josie Cowgill from Trinity Rooms Community Hub are interviewed by Katy Oglethorpe about the report's key ideas.
