Radio Abbey update

It has been decided by mutual agreement that Liane Dugal will withdraw from the Radio Abbey project at theKenilworthCentre, as the constraints of operating within a busy, multi-user community building have proved difficult to overcome. She intends to look at other opportunities to launch a local community radio station for Kenilworth, based elsewhere.

The trustees and management of theKenilworthCentre are very grateful to Liane for the professionalism she has brought to the Radio Abbey project, and for her hard work and dedication over the past few months. We are sorry that things have not worked out as we all hoped, and we wish her well for the future.

The KenilworthCentre remains committed to the re-launch of Radio Abbey as a broadband radio station serving the needs of widest possible cross-section of the local community, and is planning a phased start-up from Autumn 2012.

The Kenilworth Centre is proud to announce
that they are Sainsbury's local charity for
the year. Please look out for us and support
us in your store.

Welcome to The Kenilworth Youth and Community Centre

Thanks for coming and enjoy your visit. Let's hope it's interesting for you, and that when you leave you have a great idea of who we are, what we do and what we are planning to achieve. Most of all, we hope for your support and your ideas for our future development.

Who are We? A non-profit making company limited by guarantee, with charitable status pending. In negotiation with the County Council to take over the full running of the Centre as an independent community-based organisation from early 2012.

Who supports us? by the Kenilworth Town Council, Community Forum, Kenilworth Churches, Kenilworth Round Table, Kenilworth Lions, Kenilworth Rotary, Kenilworth Runners and other many local community groups.

What do we do? Run and manage the Centre as a hub for community activities in Kenilworth, including the direct provision of things to do for young people such as junior club, senior club, Saturday cinema and holiday activities.

What are we are planning to achieve? Extend the use of the Centre to 7 days a week, full year usage, in response to the identified needs of all sections of the community and all ages. Achieve long-term financial sustainability as a charitable company serving the people of Kenilworth.
