About us

Our History

Bosco Community Centre has grown from a small local hall into a shared home for clubs, social nights, family activities, and volunteer-led programmes.

1978

Local families and volunteers open the original Bosco hall for youth activities and parish events.

Built by volunteers

Our history is shaped by volunteers, committee members, club leads, and neighbours who gave their time to keep a welcoming space open for everyone. If you'd like to contribute to the next chapter, visit the committee page or the training manual.
