Kitchen

The community centre now has a commercial cooker and dishwasher. This project would not have been completed without the generous donations from Cllr. Matthew Hicks (Suffolk County Council), Mid Suffolk District Council, the Godgold Trust, The Southolt Townlands Trust and the Worlingworth Flower and Produce Show. Thank you.

Message from a community centre committee member about shopping on line while also helping the community centre:

I'm helping Worlingworth Community Centre to raise money whenever I shop online - could you do the same? It's very simple - just follow this link

Why not register and shop with over 2000 well known retailers like Amazon, Argos, M&S, eBay and many more. Whenever I buy something, the retailer makes a donation to Worlingworth Community Centre. They've helped other causes raise over £2,000,000 so it really does work.

I'd be really grateful if you could use easyfundraising too. It won't cost you a penny extra to shop through easyfundraising and you can even save money with special offers and voucher codes.
