In the past 8 years, we’ve held events such as; Bollywood nights, birthday parties, jumble sales, Christmas fayres, Easter fayres, wellbeing fayres and so much more.

As well as, having permanent groups that hire the hall. These include; Zumba, Zumba Gold, Stay and Play, Sewell Toy Library, Yoga, Accra Yoga, Choir and Dancing Lessons.

During the Covid-19 lockdown, our Community Centre ran sessions, three times a week, making packed lunches for the local school children and their families. During a period of 18 months, we made 10,000 sandwiches, with the help of our many wonderful volunteers.

Due to the hardship of many families in need, within the NR3 area, we decided to open up a food bank and community fridge. 

Our food bank is rapidly growing week by week, ever since it opened in late 2020. Due to Covid-19, we started running sandwich making sessions to provide food for local school children and their families. This is when Silver Road Community Centre and their volunteers realised the desperate need for a food bank within the NR3 area. 

We are open every Thursday from 10:30 am to 12:15 pm and Saturdays from 11 am to 12:15 pm. We provide food and other items to those in need, within our community. Such as, tinned cans, pasta, laundry detergent, toiletries and many more products.

We are an independent food bank, run by volunteers. We hope to help the community and give the residents somewhere to go, when in need.

We have recently started to provide cookery lessons for children and due to the popularity of this scheme need more funding to provide more.  We have already reached 30 young people and more are interested in attending.  We would also like to start to provide cookery classes for adults - especially using low cost ingredients to help them to create nutritious and exciting alternative meals on a budget
