The Old Fire Station

Who we are

The Old Fire Stations Values, Aims and Objectives

The Old Fire Station is:

• A space where local people can come to socialise, access support and simply relax and have fun.  An opportunity for children and young people, adults and older people to maximise their potential, improve their wellbeing and quality of life all under one roof.
• An amazing venue where a complementary team of third sector tenants can come together and provide services, support, advice and information.  This will facilitate the delivery of more holistic services, encourage co-production and lead to the development of innovative, relevant services to benefit the whole community.  It’s a place where the “whole” is so much greater than just the sum of the parts.
