Westfield Park Community Centre (SCIO)

Membership number 6451
Charity registered in Scotland SC048409

The organisation is a Community Centre in the Westfield area of Falkirk. It is open to individuals or groups of all ages and abilities. We have a few established groups who regularly use the centre and have other fundraising events throughout the year. We reach out to the local community including the resident households, local businesses, the football club which is our direct neighbour and the education establishments such as the nursery, primary school, high school and college which are all in close proximity to us in order to work collectively and collaboratively in order to achieve goals such as deprivation in the locality, projects such as our community garden where we work in collaboration with the local college and Forth Environment link, offering work placement opportunities to youths at high school where they can learn skills valuable for their CV. We host arts and crafts groups twice a week, there is an external group which contains adults with additional support needs who use the facilities once a week and another external group tae kwon do that uses the hall up to four times a week generating footfall for the building. There is a wee ones (pre-nursery) group that runs weekly as well as a couple of different NHS support groups that support young families in the area. A local Muslim mothers group uses the centre weekly as does an African Christian Church whic runs a church service here weekly. We run a youth group on a Wednesday evening where local children can attend a session aimed at younger children in the seven to ten age bracket and another session aimed at age eleven and above where they partake in many different activities. We have plans for new groups in the near future focusing on ex service men and women, another that will focus on dementia. The centre has a hall and a marquee that are both available for private hire all year round also.
