The Centre

 

 

 

 

Windhill Community Centre  is run by North East Windhill Community Association (NEWCA), a voluntary organisation, through its Management Board.  The Board is made up of local residents and representatives of local community groups and agencies.  The Association is also a registered charity and a company. Windhill Community Centre is a main focus of many activities around the area. We aim to provide something for all members of the community, responding to community needs, starting from a Carers and Toddler Group, crèches for under-fives, and a computer room for courses and drop-in sessions. To help those with problems, or in need of benefits information, there is an Advice Centre with 4 qualified advice workers.

 

After many years as Chair of NEWCA Board, Sarah Jemison has stepped down due to change in her Ministerial work commitments.  Sarah has been part of the community centre for many years and was involved in all aspects of the community. 

 

Sarah will continue supporting NEWCA and the community as well enjoying her freedom and remembering to take time to pamper herself.  Our thanks go to Sarah for all her hard work.  We know she’ll continue to be a great ambassador for NEWCA, whenever an opportunity arises as this is something she is particularly passionate about.  We hope she’ll continue to keep popping in to see us.  Alan Keeling is the acting chair with the support of Angie McKniff our vice chair.
