Skelmanthorpe Community Centre

The community centre hosts all sorts of activities that aid the health and wellbeing of local residents. We are hoping to establish a small community allotment but this is still at the planning stage. However in response to feedback from residents through a place standard engagement exercise in conjunction with Kirklees Council we have started to organise community litter picks, and have secured ward funding to acquire the necessary equipment. Our membership of Natural Kirklees is intended initially to give insurance cover to residents choosing to join those litter picks and help improve the village environment, but we hope it will also extend to our development of the allotment.
