Christopher Centre celebrates 25 years of community engagement On October 19th 1994 the Christopher Centre was launched as a local resource centre and over the years it has become a focal point for local charities to hire office space and rooms for their events, meetings and activities. As well as preserving a fine Grade 2 listed building, the staff and trustees have developed a wide range of community activities from events and meetings to developing activities for local people including a singing group, a crafts group, a vegan supper group and a drop-in coffee morning for vulnerable and lonely people. In addition, the Community Depot is based there, providing local people and families in need with furniture and household goods. It is therefore more than just a building – it is a centre for all the local population.
Staff, volunteers and members of the community attended a celebratory buffet lunch
On Friday 1st March staff, volunteers and trustees came together inviting members of the community to join them in celebrating 25 years as a centre at the heart of the community. Late last year the Centre gained funding from the Garfield Weston Foundation to refurbish the kitchen and rear lobby area to make it more fit for purpose. This event was held to thank friends and supporters for the help and assistance they had given over the years and to launch a range of events to celebrate 25 years of service to the community. Over a delicious homemade buffet lunch (prepared in the fantastic new kitchen,) attendees were encouraged to raise a glass and share in the history of the Centre and look to the future to feel encouraged about new possibilities to come. Plans to raise the profile of the Centre as a fantastic community resource available for hire and a hub of community support, provision and activity are in place. The team at Sudbury and Long Melford Community News will be featuring The Christopher Centre as it continues to celebrate 25 years. We will be reporting regularly on events and advising the community on ways that you can get involved to help /support this jewel in Sudbury’s Community Crown.
