Testimonial from a local parent:

‘Thank you to all those involved behind the scenes and upfront who have organised such a great range of summer activities.  We … just wanted to say that each activity has been so good and great value for money too. We particularly enjoyed the Disney Dance workshop and the Little Riders session.  Leigh Community Centre has really hit the spot with such a broad vision of adult and child interests. It really is an essential centre of excellence for the community.'
