1. Introduction

St. Patrick’s Community Centre reopened earlier this year after the COVID19 closure. We are delighted that during these last few months, the use of the Centre and its footfall has steadily grown. We want to increase this even further with more activities for more people over the coming months and years. 
 
The Management Committee will be applying for major funding to support a programme of activities and services which will improve the lives of the local community. We also hope to refurbish and modernise the Community Centre, and to make it more accessible to everyone including people with disabilities, to make it more energy efficient and to make it a much more attractive place to use. To make this a reality, we hope to employ staff to take the project forward and to manage the premises.
We want you to help us bring our community centre into the 21st Century and create a modern local asset for all the community. 
 
Have your Say by returning the completed survey.  Your views will then be collected and collated to help inform our application for funding. We look forward to hearing your views.  This is YOUR opportunity to shape the design of the Community Centre’s future.
