One of the key purposes of the project is for the new centre to be opento the community and not just for the Church to use. Therefore the drivingvision for the project is to see many community groups and agenciesusing the building on a daily basis along with the Church.

The people behind the project are a Christian based Charity called NewHorizon Church. The charity encompasses a Church and also a variety ofcommunity support programmes. Some of the programmes currentlyoffered by New Horizon Church include; volunteer training, familysupport, children’s clubs and events targeted at young people, parentand toddler groups, mentoring and pastoral care for vulnerable peopleand a community food bank.
