Coalbrookdale
& Ironbridge,
“birthplace of
industry”, is a
World Heritage
site.
The Community Centre, based in a Victorian listed building, was established
in 1998. It is a vital resource for all residents of Coalbrookdale and
Ironbridge. Regular users include Cubs, Beavers, Scouts, Explorers, Play
Groups and Gardening Club and classes for Tae Kwon Do, Yoga, Pilates and
Tai Chi. It is also used for craft fairs, meetings, presentations, live music
and private parties. Rates are reasonable for hiring for public or private use
and there is lots of free parking.
The Centre is run by a voluntary committee. Booking fees and an annual
grant from the Parish Council cover day to day costs, such as heating and cleaning, but
improvements are paid for by fundraising. This, together with grants from SITA and the Co-
operative Community Fund enabled us to fund things like central heating, new gates and fire
prevention works.
In 2013 the main hall had a major renovation with a new oak
floor and new soundproofed ceiling funded by grants from
Biffa Environmental Trust and the Gorge Parish Council and
by our own fundraising. In 2015/6 grants from Veolia
Environmental Trust, the Gorge Parish Council, Ironbridge
Lions and our own reserves
enabled us to improve the
rest of the building. We now have a refurbished kitchen/bar area
and separate meeting room, all with new flooring and wheelchair
access. In January 2017, Telford & Wrekin Council – from whom
the building is leased – recovered the roof.
Finally, a Community Centre to be proud of!
