TRAWDEN FOREST COMMUNITY CENTRE

Manage & care take a Community Centre which was gifted by asset transfer via the local council. Our aim is to maintain and upkeep the centre, so that people from the local area and it's environs have use of a facility which offers a range of daily group activities and also to enable them to privately hire the centre for family and personal functions. We raise funds continually for its upkeep.
