Since it opened in 2003 the Parish Centre has become a hive of activity with something going on every day. Whitehall Active Retirement Association and Queen of Hearts Bridge Club are just two of the groups whose origins have started with the Centre. The weekly schedule of activities has something for everyone.
Whitehall Active Retirement Association (W.A.R.A.) organise regular events in the centre.
We hire out rooms for various functions, private parties, workshops etc. We have received excellent feedback over the years from everyone who has hired the centre.
A great facility at the Centre is the Coffee Shop which is currently open on Tuesday and Thursday mornings between 9.30am and 11.30am.
Our main source of fundraising is the Parish Centre Lotto (temporarily suspended) which is very well supported. We also raise funds by selling second-hand books in the Centre.
Activities
Pilates Class
Pilates is a fantastic way to feel better in your body. It's a low impact (non-aerobic), high result exercise class for everyone. Some benefits include: relieving tension in your shoulders, back and legs; a great way to cross train and prevent injury, promoting mindfulness and body awareness. And all you need is a mat!
