TN2 Community Centre

Tunbridge Wells Borough Council funded the TN2 project in partnership with Kent County Council and Town and Country Housing Group. The local community then took over responsibility for the management of the new facilities in Sherwood by forming the TN2 Trust - all members volunteer their time free of charge.

The aims of the partnership and the new centre, opened in June 2007, includes better links within the community, a facility to meet the needs of the residents, development of local groups and increased participation in their activities, to provide a state-of-the-art library and a range of community activities such as homework clubs.

It also includes easy access to key agencies such as health workers and housing advice, facilities for local business recruitment and training and environmental improvements to the area.

Benefits

• The innovation is that the project has brought the whole community closer together, and this was evident when they coordinated the opening ceremony.
• Zoe Jangaard, Chair of the TN2 Trust, said: 'TN2 is a very friendly and inclusive place. We help people find out about local services and are expanding our range of activities and clubs all the time.'
