What People say about the Centre
We are proud of the work we do and the service and opportunities we provide the local community. We have gained credibility and respect  locally and borough wide. Here's what people think about us:-

Les
- ImageThe Community Centre was originally Wargrave Infant school. I attended as a schoolboy in 1927 and stayed fourteen years before I left to move to the big school. The Centre goes back a long way, it opened in 1987. I started volunteering in 1984 -  the place was a right mess. Only half a roof, no windows and all of the wooden floors were ruined.  I started helping out at the Centre with lots of other local people when it was derelict to make it into the Centre it is today. It took us two and a half years, seven days a week of sheer hard graft but the end result was worth it. It has become the heart of the community and we are all really proud of what we do. It is obviously a very big part of my life, it gives me a sense of purpose and belonging.

We are experiencing a few technical problems uploading photos - normal service will be resumed ASAP!
