represent and get involved
We need volunteers, we need sponsors. If you have the skills to help the centre back on its feet, or your business can sponsor repairs we would love to hear from you.
reflect and share your good stories
The West Indian Centre opened its doors in 1983. Hundreds of thousands of people have graced our venue. Parties, dances, dominoes matches, festivals, meetings, weddings, funerals, christenings. It’s all happened here. Have you got a story you would like to share? Photos, videos. We’d love to share those stories.
our goals
The Club has fallen into serious disrepair, alongside large debts, totaling circa £30,000 that the Centre has accrued through mis-management over several years.
A new Board has been appointed, with the remit to revitalise the Centre, with an immediate focus on raising an initial fund of £75,000 to fund required renovations – the aim is to re-open in 60 days.
