Bingo Night at Charterhouse Road Community Centre: A Growing Success!

We are thrilled to share the fantastic progress of our weekly Bingo Night, held at the Charterhouse Road Community Centre every Wednesday evening. Since we relaunched the event in May 2024, our membership has steadily increased, bringing together a vibrant mix of individuals eager to enjoy a game of bingo and the camaraderie of good company.

Our Bingo Nights are more than just games; they are a weekly gathering where friends meet, and new connections are made. Laughter and joy fill the room, and the excitement is palpable. Participants enjoy not only the thrill of the game but also the warm, welcoming atmosphere that our community centre is known for.

We are continuously looking to welcome new members to join in the fun. Remember, you do not need to be a resident of the area to play, so feel free to bring along a friend or family member and introduce them to the joy of bingo!

Join us next Wednesday from 6.30 PM to enjoy some fun, win some prizes, and maybe make some new friends. We can’t wait to see you there and hopefully add your happy faces to our growing gallery of players!

For more information on how to join or any inquiries, please contact us at the community centre or visit our website. Let's keep the numbers rolling and the community growing!

Join Our Youth Club Every Monday!

Exciting news for the young residents of Hackney! Unity Support Network is thrilled to announce our Youth Club, held every Monday from 4 PM to 6 PM. Catering to children and young people aged 4 to 18 years old, our club is a hub of activity where participants can engage in a variety of fun and enriching activities.

Thanks to wonderful suggestions from our current members, we've tailored our offerings to include sports, creative arts, and science workshops, ensuring there's something for everyone to enjoy. We continuously seek input from our young members to keep our activities aligned with their interests and needs.

We invite both children and their parents to join us each week for these sessions. Moreover, we are looking for enthusiastic volunteers who can dedicate 2.5 hours a week to help run these activities. Volunteers will need to have an enhanced DBS check, which we can facilitate if not already obtained.

Get Involved!

Your participation not only helps enrich our youth club but also strengthens our community ties. If you're interested in volunteering or want your child to become a part of our exciting club, please reach out to us.

Let’s make Mondays something to look forward to together!
