Spennymoor Youth and Community Association

Spennymoor Youth and Community Association is a Registered Charity (CIO) working in Spennymoor and surrounding areas.

The centre was built in 1969 and has gone by a number of different names over the years including Spennymoor Open Youth Club, Spennymoor Youthy and our current legal name is Spennymoor Youth and Community Association.

In January 2016 the management committee started the process of taking on the centre through the Durham Ask (Community Asset Transfer). This transfer was agreed in October 2016 and we are currently in the process of agreeing a new 30 year lease for the building.

We have some ambitious plans for 2017 including replacement of the windows (July/August 2017) to make the building more energy efficient and reduce running costs. Plans for later in the year also include (subject to receiving the funding) replacement of the boiler and associated pipework for the building.

We have just had a new door access / entry system installed along side a new CCTV system. The external of the building has also been painted with special anti carbonisation paint which has improved the look of the building.

We will be over the next few months updating you all as to what is happening and out plans to continue to offer Children and Young People access to Youth Work Activities. So please watch this space.
