Southfield Centre News

DECEMBER 2025

The next meeting of the Management Committee and others interested in the future of the centre will be held on WEDNESDAY 14 JANUARY 2026 at 6.30pm to progress our preparatory work on the road to Community Asset Transfer which we need to achieve by March 2029 to avoid closure of the facility.

The two main items on the agenda will consider the NEW MODEL FOR COMMUNITY CENTRES (Southfield will be given temporary annual grant funding from April 2026 but will be directly re-charged all running and staffing costs quarterly) and a new GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE for the centre (the current management committee cannot cope with both normal day-to-day running while also planning towards community asset transfer).
