610 Youth & Community Centre

It’s important to remember that this is both a youth and community centre. The youth service here are great, they offer advice, scoldings, banter and support to develop young people’s skills. With a pool table, a recording studio, big TV and a sport hall there is always something to do and at the very least it is a safe place for young people to hang out with their friends. In schools holidays the youth service offer day time activities from trips out to the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
The community centre acts as a space for groups and clubs to hire out from a church group, a dance crew, to karate classes there is a diverse timetable of things going on that will be of interest to someone in your family.
Whilst it’s brilliant having such a great community space with community members putting stuff on they still need people to support and attend, if you live nearby or have just moved to the area then pop in and chat to someone as they are a friendly enough bunch to help.

610 is a fab youth & community centre, mostly run by Steve Joseph who makes sure the place is safely looked after, as well as making sure the young people who attend are engaged in positive activities — whether they’re sporty, arty or educational. Every year he takes the young people off to do DofE, and every year they do a xmas sleigh ride. Weird? Yes. Awesome? Yes. They have a pool table, and a massive hall space which can be rented and is used for summer playschemes and evening dance classes.
