PURPOSE: We
aim to provide services and support to all sections of the diverse Savile Town
community. We aim to encourage those experiencing disadvantage, social and economic
exclusion, particularly young people, the elderly and people with disabilities.
Within
our community centres, we are committed to providing a safe and culturally sensitive
environment, which caters for all groups, particularly women. We aim to provide
lifelong learning opportunities at all levels from pre-school children to the
elderly.
Our
organisation fosters partnership working with private, voluntary and public sectors
and we believe by working together we can provide our community with the best
opportunities in life and ensure they have access to information, knowledge
and resources to make informed decisions.
BACKGROUND: Our
organisation has been in existence since 1984 and our members are drawn from the
Savile Town community, which includes representatives from the Savile Town Youth
Association and Savile Womens Association. We have links with the local
mosques and our Committee members work within local companies, public service
providers and the voluntary sector.
ACTIVITIES: We
manage two facilities: The first an older community hall where weddings and
social activities take place during the day and evening, groups representing the
young, elderly and women meet regularly.
Our
second venue is a newly refurbished training centre, catering for the needs of
women and children in the community, equipped with modern training rooms, creche
facilities and IT suite linked to the UK Online initiative.
In
both adjacent facilities we aim to provide: A quality venue for people
of all ages, backgrounds and religions. Health, welfare, educational,
social activities for people from minority ethnic communities in particular those
groups isolated or excluded. Large facilities for celebratory events,
in particular Asian weddings. Opportunities for young people, to divert
them away from crime, drugs and antisocial behaviour Meeting venues
for public and private organisations which seek to target hard to reach sections
of the community. Opportunities for sharing knowledge and joint projects
with other voluntary organisations and community groups. |
