Following the sale of Crossways Community House in August, the doors will close forever to the community on 7 October 2008.
The New Crossways Community Trust has taken out an 11 year lease on the first floor of a building at 6 Roxburgh Street and will officially begin operating as a community facility here on the 16 October.
Mr Southworth, Chair of the Trust said "the battle to Save Crossways has had a positive spin-off with money raised by the campaign to now pay for the new centre's lease".
It is expected that most groups from Crossways will eventually be housed in the new centre.
"Our one great regret is that we could not find somewhere with an outdoor play area so that the creche could join us too. The only possible place to house all of us was the Congregational Church in Cambridge Terrace but the church turned the creche down because it could not agree to the physical alterations the creche required".
The creche has been able to find a temporary venue in Newtown. Please contact the creche for further updates.
Both the trust and the creche will be moving out of Crossways on Saturday 4 October.
If you are able to volunteer some time to assist with the move please meet at the following times;
Saturday 4 October - Crossways
Midday onwards - to assist packing and preparing for the move of the community centre (the movers arrive at 2pm).
Saturday 11/Sunday 12 October - 6 Roxburgh Street
10am onwards - a community working bee to tidy up the new venue - painting, organising etc
