The Centre

The Moorlands Centre was established in 1996 to serve the local community of Old Goole, but has extended its catchment area due to the needs of people further afield and the services it provides. It survives and flourishes due to a small core of paid staff and a dedicated group of willing volunteers. The goal of the Moorlands is primarily a community centre, but offering a cafe facility, a central reception area and an I.T. suite, offering free internet access and computer learning courses. Other activities consist of a table-top sale every Wednesday and Bingo sessions which run on Wednesday afternoons and alternate Saturdays.

Volunteers

The Moorlands relies on volunteers to help manage the centre. There are a number of volunteering opportunities that anybody can get involved with. Whether it's kitchen, office or computers there is something that will interest you. Often the best way back into employment or perhaps a way to relieve boredom. Come in for a chat and see what's on offer.

Good Food

The Moorlands Centre and its cafe serve healthy, nutritious food at very cheap prices. A lot of our produce is grown locally and there is always a daily special. More exotic snacks like Paninis, Curries and Chilli are also available. Take a look on our cafe page for full details.

Cyber Cafe

The Moorlands Centre specialises in being a warm friendly place to come in for a chat, get some advice and something wholesome to eat. The picture below shows some of our elderly students who come in on Thursday mornings for a FREE course that shows them how to get to grips with computers and the Internet.
