Welcome to our centre!

NOTICE: St. Augustine's has recently re-branded the charity and will be updating the website shortly.

The St Augustine's Centre was opened formally in 1989. For approximately 20 years before this, it was a playgroup and provided ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes.

The Centre is a charity-based voluntary organisation, reliant upon grants and donations. We value and respect all members of the community as individuals and we are open to all. The Centre is based in an area of great religious and ethnic diversity and where there is also a high degree of deprivation. We aim to encourage integration between the various groups.

We have links with various community organisations such as Sure Start, St Augustine's Junior and Infant School and the WEA (Workers' Educational Association).

In December 1999, we were awarded the Duke of York's Community Initiative Charter in recognition of the excellence of our work.

In 2007, we were also awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service. The below two videos show footage of our centre, including interviews with people who use the centre.

Below are two videos of the cenre, including some of the activities that occur at the centre and interview with regular users:
