A local Community/Education centre offering courses and activities for everyone!
The Park Community Centre is a thriving and successful neighbourhood centre for use by the local community of Knowle West for Educational learning, sport, leisure and employment opportunities. Although located in Knowle West these opportunities are also available to the wider Bristol community. The Centre is the hub of a lifelong learning network which includes a wide range of groups and organisations with an interest in learning.
Why the community needs this charity
The centre runs various educational courses such as BTEC Levels 1 and 2 in Construction and a CYQ Level 2 Certificate in Fitness Instructing to people who would not normally get the chance to gain a qualification. We also run adult leisure learning courses and activities for local people. The Centre also benefits the local community by offering great facilities at very reasonable prices. Facilities include Sports Hall, Conference rooms, counselling rooms and an on site Health & Fitness Suite.
Results and outcomes
Young people who complete courses at The Park have often found work placements or are sign posted on to further educational opportuinities. Through our links with Deeley Freed, Construction students have gone on to apprenticeships with local building companies. People who have completed our Fitness Instructor course have gone on to work as a Fitness Instructor in our Health & Fitness Suite.
