Community
Cafe
We operate a social enterprise Community Café alongside our soft play facilities. Not only do we produce barista-style coffee, hot food and party catering, we offer training and mentoring for local people for employability skills. The income generated from this enterprise is invested into our community support services.
Badger’s Patch
In partnership with Winchester City Council, the Carroll Centre was awarded a government Pocket Park grant to create a children’s nature area in Stanmore to help children connect with nature and enjoy woodland walks, open-air story-telling and bush craft. The project opened in May 2020 in an previously unwelcoming patch of wooded area. It is now a beautiful walk filled with wooden sculptures, bug houses, hedgehog house and nests.
Community Engagement & Volunteering
We work alongside various local agencies and groups on a variety of projects to support Stanmore community. We welcome volunteers of all skills and abilities to take party in centre-wide activities. For further information or to complete an application pack, please click below.
We also welcome enquiries from local businesses and organisations who would like to participate in volunteering or team building activities.
Community Allotment
We are currently setting up a community allotment for all ages to enjoy. Not only will our nursery children get to experience planting, growing and harvesting food. We also hope to engage the community in the project so that we can fill our Food Pantry with more fresh produce to eat.
If you feel like this is something you would like to get involved in, please get in touch!
