Welcome to The Eastside Centre

We have through our web designer developed what we like to think is a true reflection of all that is taking place here at The Eastside Centre.

Please do feel free to contact us through our online form in the contact page with your comments etc. As we would love to hear from you in regards to anything we do, if you'd like to get involved or your view of our website.

The Eastside Centre has been open now for some nine years, when it started with a few interested parents and their children.

A group of people from Surestart, Zion Baptist Church, Ashfield District Council, Homestart and others realised that the premises in the church building were wholly inadequate, not only for the current activities which included parent and toddler groups, a youth club etc but would limit their aspirations in trying to cater for the wider community in a more diverse area.

With this in mind, they formed an official group, applied to the Coalfields Regeneration Trust and also the CRB5. They were successful in this bid and eventually built an extension to the rear of the Church which was purpose built for the many groups that now enjoy the Centre.

We have been and are currently supported by a good number of Grant Funders who, like we at the Centre believe that the activities we are involved with will raise the expectations of the people in this area.

These have included:

• O2 for providing funding for the website.
• Thorne Designs for designing the website and training to maintain it.
• Notts County Council,
• The Inner Wheel
• The Rotary Club
• Coalfields Regeneration Trust
• Sir John Eastwood Foundation
• Ashfield Partnership
• Fair Share
• Grass Roots
• Awards For All
• Nott's Community Foundation.
