Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Chairperson, Councillor Charlie Casey, officially opened the new £1.4 million Saintfield Community Centre on Thursday 26 June at a ceremony attended by MLAs, councillors and community representatives.
The Saintfield Community Centre has been designed as a shared neutral space with a range of facilities to suit local sports clubs and organisations or individuals who need a space to interact with the local community. The latest in building technology has been used to create a carbon neutral building. Among the systems employed are heating panels on the roof, heat pumps and rain-water catchment to further reduce the running costs.
The Centre is managed by volunteers who formed the Saintfield Community Trust, a limited company with charitable status. Local groups are invited to use the centre to help make it a success. Please come and view the facilities by arrangement – phone Anna on 07568 268986.
The Centre needs your support. If you are able to spare a few hours or days in the month to help the Trust run the Centre, please email: reception.saintfieldcc@gmail.com
