✨ We’ve got something extra special to share with you over the next two weeks! ✨
Students from Fox Class at Green Lane School, aged 11–14, have been busy creating twelve amazing posters for us — and we can’t wait to show them off!
Students from Fox Class at Green Lane School, aged 11–14, have been busy creating twelve amazing posters for us — and we can’t wait to show them off!
As part of their topic “Doing Good”, the pupils have been exploring how they can support local charities and make a positive difference in their community. Our team member Nicola teamed up with the class on a brilliant idea: the students would help promote our Children’s After School Club!
The pupils poured their creativity, imagination and enthusiasm into the project, producing twelve fantastic posters. We were so impressed that we’ll be sharing six of them this week, followed by six more next week — giving each one a chance to shine ⭐
A huge thank you to the staff at Green Lane School for supporting this project, and an even bigger well done to Fox Class for their outstanding work! 💛

🚨 IMPORTANT REMINDER 🚨
All visitors and Centre users must SIGN IN at reception and out again when leaving the building. We are a very busy Community Centre. Signing in and out helps us keep the building safe for everyone and in line with Fire Regulations and emergencies! Please take a moment to do this every time you visit. It really does help protect everyone who uses the Centre. Thank you for helping keep Newton Community Centre safe for everyone 💜 |

🌟 A huge thank you to everyone who supports us with donations — we’re always blown away by your kindness and generosity. 💜
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. 💛 |

A hot brew, some toast, a treat… whatever is on the board is yours to take, no questions asked. If you’re able to give, you can buy an extra item and add a note to the board next time you are in.
