Mexborough Community PartnershipAbout Us

In the early years the Partnership set up a Planning for Real event which resulted in the following projects :-

  • The need for a Community Resource Centre for Mexborough
  • A Community Recycling project to support employment
  • Environmental Improvements to the Town
  • Establishment of Community Allotments.

In 2007 after successfully applying for Lottery and Coalfield Regeneration funding the new Mexborough Community Partnership Resource Centre was opened in the old Times House, Dolcliffe Road, Mexborough. The facilities included:-

  • A reception and general office
  • A main Hall for 90 people
  • An IT suite for 12 students
  • Meeting Rooms
  • Offices for rent with kitchen and other support facilities.

Early occupants of the building were : Green Gables Outreach Team, Heritage Inspired and Job Mates. More recently, the Council's Opportunity centre was housed in the building.

However, due to the current economic climate the Partnership has lost tenants and now needs to revise its objectives to broaden its appeal across the communities and businesses of Mexborough to provide a resource all can feel a part of.
