Save Chuter Ede Community Association

Closing Chuter Ede Community Association will impact the whole community and surrounding area.

On average over 800 adults and children in groups and in training courses per week use the centre.

 The centre offers a diverse range of services including :

Jets Cheerleading

Jujitsu

Youth Club

Lynne’s dancefit

Spotlight School of Dance

Almost pro-wrestling

Bissability football

South Tyneside music service

South Tyneside Orchestra

School workforce development training

Jack health club for the mentally handicapped

Ocean choices adult day-care

Sewing Bee’s

Chuter Ede bowling club

Winter club night wear

Unicorn Photography

Training in care

Lou personal training

South Tyneside photography club

 

Both young and old use the centre to learn new skills, make new friends and so much more. Chuter Ede is an important as a social and cultural hub within the community.

Many of the groups that use the centre have invested their own money into ensuring they can offer services , and as such have made an investment into the community which is sorely needed.

The Centre was running at a profit until the energy crisis and they were not allowed to be put on a lower tariff.

The council have failed to maintain the building to a reasonable standard .

They Local Council have now announced long term plans to use the site for extra care accomodation for adults with care needs. The plans are currently in the design stage . Groups were only notified on Monday and only have until 3rd September to secure new premises .

We need to save Chuter Ede Community Association as there are many young people and adults who utilise the centre both in the local community and surrounding area, as well as the spacious green area attached and it is a lifeline for many
