Washington Millennium Centre Trust

Washington Millennium Centre is a long standing Community Centre based in the heart of Concord, Washington. In 1996 The old "Oval CA" was partially destroyed by fire leaving only one small building. In 1998 The National Playing Fields Association (NPFA) with support from Sunderland City Council, The Football Association and The Millennium Commission combined to build one of 12 Millennium Centre's nationwide. On July 19th 1999 the centre was officially re-opened by H.R.H The Duke Of Edinburgh and guests.

Washington Millennium Centre acts as a Community hub facilitating a range of activities for local people and has 29 other voluntary sector groups using the site catering for all ages. Users range from Toddlers in the Crèche to Pensioners who attend both the Fitness suite and other pensioners groups based at the centre.

•17 Cardio Machines
