Woodhouse Close Community Centre was the chosen charity for 2021. Based on Woodhouse Close Estate, the Centre’s aim is to provide for all in the community – single people as well as families – particularly those facing financial hardship or crisis and in need of welfare support.
The Centre’s Crisis Intervention includes the Food Bank which is manned by volunteers from local Churches in the area. In recent years staff have noted a huge increase in the number of people accessing the Crisis Intervention and Food Bank.
