Run by its neighbours

Linden Row Community Centre is a registered charity. It belongs to the people of Hollinwell, and a committee of eleven local volunteers runs it.

Room hire and the café pay for most of the building. Grants and donations pay for the rest: the advice service, the warm space in winter and the pantry.

Every penny stays in the town, and the accounts are on the noticeboard in the entrance and on this website every year.

What people say

I came for the chair yoga after my husband died. I stayed for the people. Tuesday is the best day of my week now.

They sat with me for an hour and sorted out a benefits form I had been dreading for a month. Nobody rushed me.

We held our daughter's first birthday in the Garden Room. It cost less than a pub and the kitchen had everything.
