St Paul's Community House

St Paul's Community House provides advice, support services, leisure and activity programmes for local residents. It also offers family learning opportunities and provides training and education for adults. It is run by a committee comprising CCP staff and volunteers, CBH staff, and local residents. Many of the activities on offer are in answer to resident requests for better provision for children outside normal school hours. CCP has embraced this desire by organising activities which will help to empower the current generation of children growing up in St Paul's with the motivation and ability to achieve healthy, economically self-sustaining lifestyles in the future.

The Community House is a well equipped facility with an IT and Learning suite and a full kitchen. It offers a range of activities aimed at engaging specific age groups of children, their parents, whole families and older members of the community. The activities are run both by CCP and in partnership with other agencies. Currently on offer are:
