About us

 

Boldon Community Association (also known as Boldon Community Centre) was founded in April 1977 in conjunction with CISWO (Coal Industry Social Welfare Organisation) and South Tyneside Council. 

We are a registered charity.  Our charity number is 506668.  Our Community Centre is based in the heart of the community of the “Boldons” which serves the local community and neighbouring areas.

Boldon Colliery is considered to be an area of deprivation, with this in mind we aim to offer a diverse range of facilities and activities at an affordable rate which are available to all. 

We are open 7 days a week and a single storey building making us easily accessible to people with disabilities.

The Centre is governed by 4 Trustees and a Management Committee consisting of 20 members who are all committed volunteers who meet once a month to discuss Centre business.

All Safeguarding and financial policies are up to date and in place.
