Our community centres

Benchill Community Centre

From fitness, sport and dance, to arts, computer classes and a sensory room, there’s something for everyone. We also have flexible spaces to hire for meetings, events, and local groups.

Delivering services that make a difference

We support each other, build community, and create spaces that matter. Though we’re an independent charity (no. 1087821), we’re proud to be backed by Wythenshawe Community Housing Group, who help us do what we do best: deliver frontline services that make a real difference.

A friendly welcome for everyone

Get in touch with the team.

They’re happy to help.
