The council run community centre was taken over by a group of local residents who formed themselves into a registered charity and limited company.

Our charity was set up to provide benefit for the inhabitants of Higher Folds in Leigh,without distinction of, sex, or of political, religious or other opinions, by associating the local authorities, voluntary organizations and the local inhabitants in the following manner to advance education for the public benefit by facilitating a DDA compliant community space: to relieve sickness and preserve and protect good health of persons resident in the area of benefit: the advancement of education and training of young people and adults.

Our staff and volunteers all strive to ensure that our ethos of a welcoming centre for one and all is as strong today as it was when we started.
