  • Local community hub to meet friends and family. Caters for a real variety of activities. Has a lovely community atmosphere.

    Nina, Southbourne · signed 1 day ago

  • It’s a fabulous local community hub with a great atmosphere and should be allowed to continue with all it does for the people who actually live here. It would be a travesty if it were to go to a faceless corporation who couldn’t care less about the community.

    Rachel, Christchurch · signed 1 day ago

  • Great place for all ages to meet any time of the year. Would be tragic to lose it.

    Hilary, Ferndown · signed 1 day ago
