Crowborough Community Centre

Crowborough Community Centre is owned by the Crowborough Community Association who developed and run the Centre. Crowborough Community Association has been active in Crowborough since 1975, when it opened the original CCA Hall in Park Road, built in 1925 as a Guide Hut. It was ‘home’ to many of the town’s local organisations until momentum for a new community centre swelled following a public consultation by Wealden District Council on future retail development in the town. With funding from Crowborough Town Council and the National Lottery and on land donated by Wealden District Council, the new Crowborough Community Centre, costing £3.2 million, opened in 2012. It is now at the heart of the community with an average of 300 bookings each month for a large number of clubs, associations and individuals. The Centre is a financially self-supporting non-profit organisation.

Crowborough Community Centre has set up a Friends group to support the development of its community services. The Friends of Crowborough Community Centre (FCCC) has both individual and business members with each group bringing both increased public awareness and welcome financial support.

Friends are asked to make an annual donation, suggested at £15-£25 for individuals and £50-£100 for businesses. All Friends will have the option of being acknowledged on the Community Centre website while the names of Business Friends will be prominently displayed in the CCC foyer. Both groups will be kept well-informed about Community Centre projects and future plans through newsletters and personal contact.

To become a friend, simply download and complete the relevant form, and email to fccc@crowboroughcentre.info

Any individual can become a member of the CCA and new members are very welcome. Members have the right to attend and vote at the AGM, which is held in Autumn. Membership costs £5 per annum. To become a member, please call into the centre office and register your name and contact details and pay your membership fee.
Group membership is also available to organisations which meet at the Centre.
If you have any questions about the CCA please e-mail info@crowboroughcentre.info

The Heritage Cabinet was provided by Crowborough Town Council and opened by the Mayor on 10th November 2015. You can find it in the Foyer of the Crowborough Centre. The display presents local artefacts which may interest, fascinate and amuse you.

Vision: To become the recognised champion of social and cultural interests and aspirations in the local community.
