ABOUT THE HEATHCOTE CENTRE

MORE

THAN A BUILDING.
A PLACE TO BELONG.

Heathcote Community Centre is a welcoming space at the heart of the local community, somewhere to meet, move, learn, celebrate and connect. From children’s activities and sports to wellbeing sessions, community groups, classes and celebrations, our Centre brings people together and provides a place for local life to happen.

Whether you’re here every week or walking through our doors for the first time, you’re welcome.

AROUND COMMUNITY

Our aim is simple: to help make Heathcote and the surrounding area an even better place to live, work and grow.

We believe that strong communities are built through connection. That’s why we provide accessible, flexible spaces where people of all ages can come together, get active, learn something new, find support or simply enjoy being part of something.

At the heart of what we do are two things:

Feeling good

Supporting mental and physical wellbeing through movement, activity, creativity, learning and connection.

Feeling connected

Creating opportunities to meet people, build friendships and strengthen links across our growing community.

No two days at Heathcote Community Centre look quite the same.

Our Centre includes a spacious Sports Hall, flexible activity and meeting spaces, a Kitchen & Communal Area and Church Hall — giving local groups, organisations, businesses and individuals room to do their thing.

You might find little ones taking their first class, a sports session in full swing, people gathering for a community group, a wellbeing workshop taking place or a birthday celebration getting started.

Different people. Different reasons for coming. One community.

OUR STORY

Heathcote Community Centre has been part of the local area since 2000, when the original building was designed and built by Warwick District Council. It was leased to Heathcote Parish Church, then known as Warwick Gates Community Church… to provide a home for both the church and the wider community.

As Heathcote and the surrounding area grew, so did the needs of the people living here.

In 2018, a team from the church began looking at how the building could be reimagined to serve the community better. With support and funding from the church and other generous local organisations, the Centre was extensively adapted and improved, with the project completed in 2021.

The result is the flexible, accessible community space you see today.

And it continues to evolve.

New groups, activities and ideas are always welcome, and we’re continually looking at ways the Centre can support the people who live, work and spend time in our community.
