Wednesday 8th October 2008

9.30am – 4.00pm - The Thornbury Centre

Community Centres are at the heart of life in the Bradford District. They provide a fantastic range of activities and facilities at a local level, which promote and support health and wellbeing and social network and capacity building. However they need support to keep going, and learn from each other about how to improve, develop and extend the services they provide, attract more users and attract more money from funders and investors.   

The “Use ‘em or Lose ‘em” conference invites community centre managers, staff, and management committee members to work together to share good practice, discuss issues and find solutions. Current and potential funders and investors are also invited along to listen to and take part in the debate. The outcome will be a “Sustainable Community Centres Strategy” that will support centres to achieve their potential and a sustainable future.
