The Centre strives to be accessible to people in or operating wheelchairs, mobility vehicles, prams and pushchairs, as well as those who require walking aids.

The car park is block brick weave, making it a smooth, flat surface upon which to approach the hall. There is a flat paved path extending from the car park to the main hall.

The main entrance door and all emergency exits are at least 1.8m wide, and have only a slightly raised footplate, making them passable for people in wheelchairs, prams, pushchairs and mobility vehicles. All emergency exits can be opened manually with a bar to push to open them.

The building is all on one level and flush with the ground outside, so there are no steps or ramps to navigate to get into or around the building.

There are internal fire doors separating the main hall and toilet area from the entrance vestibule which, by default, are sturdy, robust and heavyset. As fire doors, they are naturally sprung to close automatically and currently must be pulled or pushed manually to open them.

Nursing mothers are welcome to breast-feed their baby/babies anywhere within the hall that best suits them.

If you would prefer some privacy for this, the baby room offers space to do this, as well as a nappy changing shelf.

The Centre has designated male and female toilet areas, as well as a separate unisex cubicle, and a dedicated toilet for people with a disability.

The latter toilet has support bars, taps with long levers and an distress cord to pull if you encounter any difficulty. This triggers a distress alarm.

Please note, that the Centre does not have any full time staff who can respond, but the organiser of your activity has been briefed on how to open the door if required, and to reset the distress signal.

People who are transgender or who are in the process of transitioning are welcome to use whichever toilet area that they feel best suits them.

People with impaired sight and hearing are welcome to bring their guide dogs into the Centre.

We welcome people with impaired hearing and those who are deaf to the centre.

With regret, though, we do not currently have an induction loop for hearing aids, microphone and sound system nor anyone on-site trained in sign language.

We encourage you to discuss your requirements with the organiser of your activity.

Whilst the Centre welcomes people who speak little or no English, we regret that we do not have any trained translators on-site to interpret for you. You may wish to discuss your needs with the organiser of your activity about this.

People with special dietary requirements are welcome to visit the Centre.

Be advised, however, that whilst every effort is made to maintain excellent standards of hygiene in the kitchen, it is used by a variety of people, some of whom may prepare food containing meat, nuts, wheat, and other ingredients which may cause an allergic reaction. Traces of these foods cannot be guaranteed not to find their way into food prepared there.

If you are attending a function that will serve food prepared in the kitchen, we strongly recommend that you discuss your requirements with the organiser of that activity.

The Centre welcomes people of all faiths and none, as well as people of all cultures, traditions, and heritage. It is a secular public space where everyone can meet and congregate together, dressed as they feel most comfortable.
