Community Projects

As a hub for the local community, the Centre is home to a variety

of active groups.

Each group offers different members of the community support, engagement, learning and positive experiences. Each of these groups are delivered through grant funding and donations made to the Centre from a range of supporters.

Check out What’s On for details of when the groups meet.

Evergreen

Evergreen is a group which provides regular opportunities for older people in the community to get together; to enable their social wellbeing and to benefit from mentally and physically stimulating activities, encouraging the latter to be offered by as many local diverse groups and individuals as possible.

Our Place Youth Club

Our Place Youth Project was formed in 2002 by a group of local young people, who had nowhere to go in the evening. They worked with a volunteer, who helped them raise funds to pay a part-time youth worker. In 2006 the group moved into the Centre, where they still have their ‘club room’ in the basement; recently refurbished with new flooring part-funded by Ambleside Rotary Club.

Now delivered by Youth Engagement Service, in partnership with the Centre, Our Place provides Ambleside’s only drop in youth club; a safe and positive environment for young people to meet with friends, try new things and develop interests and hobbies. Operating during term-time with weekly activities both at the Centre and out on Rothay Park, Our Place is open to any young person who wants to come long.
