About Us
Abbotswood Community Centre is a community hub serving Abbotswood, Romsey and the surrounding area.
The Centre provides flexible spaces for activities, clubs, meetings, celebrations, services and community events.
Abbotswood Community Centre is run by Abbotswood Community Association, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation governed by volunteer trustees.
Our trustees are responsible for the overall direction, governance and financial oversight of the charity, while our staff manage the day-to-day running of the Centre and work with local people, organisations and partners to develop activities and opportunities for the community.
Our Vision
“To be a thriving, inclusive and sustainable community hub at the heart of Abbotswood, where people feel welcomed, connected, safe and supported.”
This vision guides the way we run the Centre and the decisions we make about its future.
We want Abbotswood Community Centre to be a place that is open and welcoming, where people can build friendships, improve their wellbeing, learn new skills, find support and play an active part in their community.
