Emails have now been sent to all families who have been allocated a place for their child/children.
If you haven’t received an email, this means that due to high demand and limited capacity your child has not been offered a place this time. We were absolutely overwhelmed to receive over 140 applications! 💛 While this is amazing to see, our self-funded community centre can only safely accommodate a limited number of children. Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support of Newton Community Centre. 🙏 |

🌟 A huge thank you to everyone who supports us with donations — we’re always blown away by your kindness and generosity. 💜
Please note there are certain things we can't take donations of at the mo! To help us manage the space we have at the Centre and make sure your donations go where they’re needed most, we’ve put together a little guide of what we can accept at the moment, and what we unfortunately can’t take right now because we already have plenty! Your support truly makes a difference, and being able to focus on the items we currently need helps us keep everything running smoothly and ensures nothing goes to waste. If you’re unsure about an item, feel free to give us a call on 01925 224731— we’re always happy to help. Thank you so much for understanding and for continuing to support our community. 💛 |

We want to show you all something...
The Community Lottery scheme we often share about is working! Thanks to people in our Community buying their lottery tickets through it, it's raised £50.00 for our lovely Community Centre... we will be using those funds for our Children's Summer Playscheme! For those who don't know what it's about, it's basically a little version of the lottery we've all heard about, but this one helps charities like us! 😄 The tickets cost £1.00 per week and you can actually win up to £25,000! For every ticket you play 78.2% goes to places like our lovely centre! More info and to buy your tickets can be found here |

Without our volunteers :
😎 We wouldn’t have run an annual summer Playscheme for 32 years which has seen over 20,480 children attend! ☕️ We wouldn’t have a wonderful Community Café which welcomes over 16,000 visitors a year! 🎄We wouldn’t have been able to host a Christmas Community Breakfast for the past seven years which has seen over 600 enjoy a festive breakfast ☀️🎅🏻 We wouldn’t be able to raise funds through our Summer and Christmas Fairs welcoming over 2000 of our community ⭐️ We wouldn’t have a board of Trustees who guide us through good times and difficult ones too. |
