Alamein Community Association was set up in 2007 to promote the benefit of all the inhabitants of Alamein ward, to provide facilities in the interests of local residents and to maintain the King Arthur’s Hall for the benefit of local people.
A set of priorities were agreed in 2007 and the association set out to work with other groups to achieve these. After two years work by a number of agencies all of these have been achieved including computer classes and IT access, after school clubs, health advice, evening classes, bingo and other social events, arts and music projects (including the film Inside Out) and a community newsletter. The association has built links with many other local groups and obtained funding of over £38,000 for local projects.
The association now hopes to build on that success by finding more funding for the coming year to increase its work in the area and involve more local residents from across the ward in its activities. It aims to expand the facilities and use of King Arthur’s Hall and become a voice to represent the people of Alamein ward.
Meetings are held monthly in King Arthur’s Hall and all local residents are invited to come and join in this exciting project. The next meeting is on Tuesday 4 August at
