Welcome to Hoole Community Centre
Hoole Community Centre provides a practical and safe place for local groups. We hire space for workshops, classes, meetings, children’s activities and family celebrations.
There are over 20 different activities taking place at the moment ranging from activities such as zumba, Yoga, art classes and a variety of dance classes. The community centre has several spaces available for hire, one being a large hall.
Hoole Community Centre has a community cafe which offers homemade, delicious food at affordable prices. There is a library where you can knit and natter and be part of a book club. There’s a weekly senior’s club, international coffee morning, IT buddies and a social table tennis afternoon. All would not be possible without dedicated staff and a team of amazing volunteers.
Our mission is to serve the community today and in the future.
Hoole Community Centre is managed by Hoole Community Development Trust
Registered Charity Number 1157709.

Did you know that Hoole Community Centre is predominantly staffed by volunteers?![]()
![]()
As it's National Volunteers' Week, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate the incredible people who give their time, energy, skills and kindness to help make Hoole Community Centre such a special place.![]()
![]()
Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. They are truly incredible people and do so much to keep the Centre running... From washing dishes and baking cakes, to taking orders and making coffees, they are always ready to lend a hand. They spend time helping the public at IT Buddies, host international coffee mornings, lead table tennis sessions, welcome visitors, support community events and so much more. They step in wherever they're needed, and we would be lost without them.![]()
![]()
What makes our volunteers so special isn't just what they do - it's the way they do it. They bring warmth, friendship, patience, humour and a genuine desire to help others. They create a welcoming atmosphere where people feel valued, connected and part of something bigger. We are very lucky to have them.![]()
![]()
The truth is, Hoole Community Centre simply wouldn't be what it is without them. Every smile shared over a cup of tea, every successful event, every new friendship formed within these walls has been made possible, in some way, by the dedication of our wonderful volunteers.![]()
![]()
And while we're not entirely sure how many cups of tea have been made over the years, we do know that the Centre runs on kindness, community spirit and the generosity of people willing to give their time for others.![]()
![]()
To every single one of our volunteers - past and present - thank you. Thank you for your commitment, your enthusiasm, your flexibility, your compassion and for always being willing to lend a hand. Whether you give an hour a week or many hours each month, your contribution matters more than you know.![]()
![]()
You don't just help run the Centre - you are the Centre. Thank you for bringing joy, friendship and support to so many people in our community.![]()

Happy National Volunteers' Week and thank you for everything you do ❤️
