Community Awards

We have been out and about giving community awards to deserving groups and clubs across the area, helping groups to purchase new equipment and offer new services and activities. 

Hallcroft Bingo Club & Hallcroft Whist Club

When Hallcroft Community Centre was devastated by fire, the Bingo Club and Whist Club lost all their equipment.  To help with the cost of replacing the Bingo Club’s number calling machine and the Whist Club’s scorecards, cards and other equipment A1 Housing have awarded both groups £200 as part of A1 Housing Community Awards Scheme. 

 

Events, meetings, groups and clubs are now up and running in the centre and if you would like to know more please contact our Customer Services Team who will be happy to pass on all information about the various activities happening at Hallcroft Community Centre.
