Background

Northmoor Community Association is a Company Limited by Guarantee and a Registered Charity. It was set up by Northmoor Residents Association in 2000 to take over the running and management of Northmoor Community Centre, a new community facility developed by the Residents Association working together with the Northmoor Steering Group, a group of organisation involved in the renewal of the Northmoor Road area of Longsight. Key partners in the Northmoor Steering Group were Manchester City Council Private Sector Housing and Manchester Methodist Housing Association.

Northmoor Community Association is run by a voluntary Board of Directors made up of local people, representatives from local groups and non-voting partner organizations such as Manchester Methodist Housing Association and the City Council.

The aims of the Community Association are laid out as follows -

Northmoor Community Association will work towards improving the quality of life for people living or working within the Northmoor area through the promotion of charitable purposes to relieve poverty, promote health, advance education and provide or assist in the provision of facilities for recreation.

Our aims are:

to establish, maintain and manage a community building.

to promote and run training, vocational training, workshops, advice sessions, events and other activities in furtherance of our objectives.

to assist local charitable activities through the provision of a small grants scheme for local charitable bodies.

to undertake any other activities considered appropriate in furtherance of the above objectives.

The Community Association is made up of many different people as well as the Board. We have paid staff who help run and manage the centre on a day to day basis as well as a team of hard working volunteers who help provide services in the Community Centre.
