Who are we?

Our Mission is to serve the community of Knaresborough and surrounding areas so people are welcomed, supported and empowered to fully develop their potential and that of their community

Our vision is a vibrant, inclusive, capable and resilient community in which everyone fulfils their potential

Based in our community centre venue on Chain Lane.  We are committed to:

  • Ensuring the Community Centre building continues to provide high quality spaces for local residents and hirers for future generations.
  • Enabling, supporting, developing and delivering a range of projects for the local community based on identified need and gaps in current provision.
  • Support the town to maximise the value of volunteering and support individuals to find roles that they find rewarding and in line with their interests with activities and groups across the community.
  • Lead and/or contribute to local opportunities that may present for partnership initiatives as the devolution agenda moves forward.
  • Gathering information from residents and other groups about not only current but emerging and future needs in the town.
