Roof Repaired, Community Centre Fully Operational!

We are thrilled to announce that the repairs to our community centre’s roof have been completed successfully! Thanks to the dedicated efforts of our team and the support of our community, our centre is now back to its vibrant and bustling self.

However, while the centre is up and running smoothly again, we still face the challenge of covering the costs of these essential repairs. The outstanding expenses remain a priority, and we are actively fundraising to meet this need.

Our Commitment to Community Support

For years, we’ve been at the forefront of providing crucial support to our local residents. From doorstep assistance to operating three minibuses and managing the Greenwood Community Centre, our services have been a lifeline for many, ensuring they can thrive and remain part of the community they cherish.

Despite the challenges posed by rising costs, our dedication to serving the community remains unwavering. We are committed to not only maintaining our core services but also expanding our offerings to address emerging local needs.
