Volunteers at Swinnow Community Centre refused to let last week’s closure stop them running activities.
They held a number of outdoor sessions on Swinnow Moor while much-needed maintenance was carried out at the busy community hub.
During the maintenance period, the centre didn’t want to spend the week closed, so they rallied together to provide fun engaging sessions on the Park throughout the week. This initiative ensured the continuation of vital community services and fostered a deeper connection with the local environment.
One of the standout successes during this period was The Den, Swinnow Community Centre’s youth club, which took its sessions outside and had a profoundly positive impact on the local community.
Through interactive games, team-building activities, and environmental projects, young people at The Den played an active role in making Swinnow Moor Play Park a more welcoming and vibrant space.
A centre spokesperson said: “As the maintenance of the community centre concludes, we reflect on this period as an opportunity that showcased the community’s adaptability and unity.
“The outdoor sessions not only ensured the continuity of relationships but also strengthened community bonds and highlighted the importance of communal spaces.
“We look forward to welcoming everyone back to their refurbished facility and are grateful to all who participated and supported their outdoor endeavours during this time.”
