Arreton Community Centre

A charity responsible for the maintenance of the Community Hall and the services it provides as a community asset.

Arreton Community Centre is the charity responsible for the maintenance of the Community Hall and the services it provides as a community asset. Their mission is to offer a well maintained, welcoming and disability-friendly space for use by different types of groups and activities as well as all types of family celebrations.

The hall attracts a wide and varied number of users, dancers, community lunches for the elderly, the Parish Council meetings, the Parkinson’s group, family history group, model aeroplane club, Austin Car admirers… the list is endless.

The Centre’s Simon Dodson said:

“The hall is a vital hub for the community but it was built 40 years ago and a fire risk assessment identified we no longer comply with modern fire regulations and advised that we needed a L2 fire alarm installed and fire doors. WightAid came to our rescue to urgently fund the installations so the community could continue to use the hall safely”
