Welcome to the

August issue of

The Hub,

the newsletter of the

Liskerrett

Community Centre based in

Varley Lane, Liskeard.

Community

Fun Day at Liskerrett To celebrate National Playday, Liskerrett

Community Centre, Liskerrett Pre-school,

Liskeard Children’s Centre and Louise School of

Dance are all joining together to create a day

packed with fun and play activities for

everyone to enjoy and you are invited to join in.

There will be a Bouncy Castle, face painting, an

under fives play area, open art studios, music,

storytelling, stalls and a range of activities for all

ages. The Hub café will be open throughout

providing refreshments and delicious meals and

our IT suite will also be open (free use of

computers). So come along and make a day of it.

Have a look round and see what we do.

Also, if you would like to have your own stall to

raise funds, these are available at a cost of £5.00.

Or perhaps you would like a display stand to

promote your own group or organisation. For

further information and to book your stall, leave

your details at reception or telephone

01579 340307.

We are also looking for volunteers to join us to

help in the garden and with events and fundraising,

and as new trustees. So if you are interested come

along. We look forward to seeing you there!

And if you enjoy gardening and

would like to enjoy fresh produce and meet new

friends, why not join our informal gardening group

on Wednesday evenings from 6-8pm. The first

session will be on 13th August and will include a

barbecue. Bring along something to cook and

enjoy with the fresh produce from the garden.

Your Community Centre

Needs You! Liskerrett Community Centre

is looking for new trustees Owned and managed for the community by the

community, the Liskerrett Community Centre is a busy,

friendly and vibrant multi-purpose community resource on

Varley Lane in Liskeard. This is an exciting and forward-

looking time for the Centre as we are becoming much

busier, we have our vegetarian café open, and our garden

has been transformed. We are trying to raise funds to

replace our hall with a fantastic space for Liskeard to be

proud of, that offers a wonderful environment for theatre

and music performance, community activities and events,

training and socialising. As a trustee you will be joining a committed and

passionate team of volunteers running the Centre, and you

will help to make sure Liskerrett continues to be a hub of

creativity and fun, and a resource for the community to

use. We are particularly looking for people with

experience of capital and building development,

finance, and fundraising.
