Liskerrett About us
The Liskerrett Community Centre
Welcome to Liskerrett
Liskerrett Community Centre is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. Set up on the site of the former Liskeard Junior School, the Centre opened in 2002.
Owned and managed for the community by the community, the Liskerrett Community Centre is a busy, friendly and vibrant multi-purpose community resource providing a wealth of opportunity, a wide range of services and activities, and a meeting place for people of all ages.
The Centre is open each week day from 9am-5pm and available for hire every day of the week.
The Centre is also the home of Liskerrett Pre-school, Liskeard Children’s Centre and Liskeard Youth Project. We have an IT Suite, a vegetarian Café, a community garden and ten art studios that are rented out to local artists. We offer a hall space and rooms to hire for activities such as dance, aikido, meetings, theatre, training, music, film and much more. We are members of Carn to Cove, Cornwall’s rural touring scheme and regularly host events and performances from touring companies making live theatre accessible to a local audience.
As an independent, non-profit making organisation we are a facility with lots of possibility, so please browse our web site and find out about our current activities! Or, why not start a group of your own? You can hire a room (or even the whole building) for a meeting, event or a party.
Management
Liskerrett Community Centre is managed by a voluntary board of directors, made up of people who live or work in the local community. Day to day service provision is delivered by a team made up of both staff and volunteers.
The aim of the Centre is to promote benefits for Liskeard and the surrounding area, linking with local community and voluntary organisations and members of the community in a common effort to provide a wide range of social, educational, welfare and leisure activities to improve the quality of life for the local community.
If you are interested in joining our Board of Directors or would like more information get in contact and we will be happy to answer your queries.
Staff Team
Our staff team is headed by Jenny Foster, the Centre Coordinator, the office and our IT suite is run by our Administrator Rachael Yarrow and our Café by Cathy Ross. We rely on a team of dedicated volunteers to keep the Centre open each day.
