02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Duncan Place saved a former council run community centre from demolition, raised funds and had the building refurbished. We now are home to ourselves and several other charities. We also have 4 rooms used by even more organisations for meetings and activities. These rooms are also used by us to deliver a programme of community events, activities, classes and workshops: lego clubs, arts and crafts, community cinema, laughter for health, community choir, chair yoga, tai chi, dungeons and dragons, and much more.
