Charlbury Community Centre aims to provide facilities and activities for young people, from babies right through to young adults. The centre has been kitted out with things we hope will make it a hub for young people and we run a weekly Youth Club (see below). There are bean bags, a large screen and black-out blinds, free WiFi, charging stations and iPads available to borrow. There is a table tennis and pool table. And of course there is the café for refreshments. The back door leads straight out onto Nineacres recreation ground with its sports fields and children’s play area.
We run the following sessions in term time. No need to book:
Young people can use the sports hall (for the first hour) and the Thomas Gifford Room to meet up with others and chill out in their own space. There is a table tennis table, pool table, board games and a large screen TV. We welcome ideas about what else young people would like to have available for their sessions. For further information, or to volunteer to help with these sessions please contact Margie: mglasgow@theridgegroup.com
We have a reduced price of £6 per court for juniors to play racquet sports (badminton, pickleball or table tennis), when the courts are available. This can not be pre-booked but is a pay and play as you go rate.
These sessions are all drop-in sessions, no need to book. For more information please contact the centre or email sueeterry@btinternet.com
This class has been discontinued because of a lack of participants. There are other classes in the region . For details of these contact: Carlene Whitehead, Regional Instructor, OneFitMama UK Ltd: Email: oxfordshire@onefitmama.co.uk 07834188672
A children’s party at the Community Centre is usually a combination of activities in the sports hall and then time in the Thomas Gifford Room (TGR) for food & drink. A member of our staff can run the activities for you in the sports hall or you can do this yourself. You will need to bring your own (cold) party food and booked time must include set-up and clear-up time. The TGR can accommodate 35 children seated at tables and includes some AV equipment and a large screen. Please contact Daniela on info@charlburycommunitycentre.org.uk to discuss requirements and to book.
Prices for parties:
These free, fun sing-along sessions for babies and toddlers (0-5 years) combine music and rhymes, helping children to listen and concentrate, develop their language skills and learn to join in with others.
Children must be accompanied by an adult.
This year the Charlbury Community Centre has employed a team of young people, who have undertaken lots of different projects around the town, from building raised beds in people's gardens, to facilitating outdoor and indoor virtual coffee club get-togethers for seniors, and helping with activities for children.
This would not have been possible without the financial support of WODC (Community Activities Grant), PF Charitable Trust and local donors. Thank you all very much!
The phone number is 01608 811878 and it is manned 10am-1pm seven days a week. You can ring us for practical help, shopping etc. We have a big team of volunteers who can help you.
If you can help with activites for young people we would love to hear from you as they often need high levels of supervision
