Organisation aims and objectives

Kingswells Community Centre and Webster Park provide welcoming facilities for use by all members of the community and are continuing to develop and grow for the needs of our future generations. -About Us The village is lucky enough to have two community facilities, the main centre right in the heart of Kingswells and Webster Park on the outskirts, on the way to Bucksburn. The main centre holds a large sports hall and coffee shop which provides a large schedule of activities and events. Webster Park is a smaller studio facilities, but has a large outdoor football pitch and multi-use games area. As well as our schedule of activities, we are proud to provide a wide range of services and events tailored to our community's needs and to help in today's climate. Also see 10 Reasons to Support Community Centres. -History Kingswells has a rich history, but in the 1990's the village grew rapidly with many housing developments. It was this time that a major developer that was building in the region was asked to provide amenity buildings for the area. It was at the beginning of this decade that the Community Centre was built. The building is owned by Aberdeen City Council, but it is run by an independent Management Committee who are local living or working people that volunteer to have a say how the centre is run. The Committee employ three staff to run the centre day to day, and make sure that it is being used to its potential for the community. Webster was built in the late 90's again by a developer working in the village. It serves as a smaller dance and exercise studio, but has also seen it's fair share of parties and events. The outside boasts a football pitch and recently built Multi Surface Games Area (MUGA), providing the area with a large choice of activities.

Committee Members

Volunteers we need you, with you inspiration and motivation to serve as a board member on the Management Board of HALLA (Harlaw Area Lifelong Learning Association). We are a Board of people who run daytime and evening classes at Kaimhill Learning Centre. We have a FB page ( @HALLACommunity) where you can see some of our activities and tutored classes. We meet once a month to discuss new opportunities and management issues, to find new ways of how-to bring people of all ages in the local community into the centre. We have several weekly, social, informal learning groups where Board members can get to know each other and form a friendly working relationship. A volunteer should be passionate, enthusiastic and have a keen interest in community matters. A volunteer does not necessarily require specific skills since we all support each other to develop new skills but if you have specific ones, it would be good to introduce them to the rest of the Board so we can use them to benefit the local community. The Board would appreciate people with knowledge of IT and office procedures but enthusiasm and interest in the community are equally important. This is an amazing opportunity to discover your “hidden talents” !!! You are very welcome to attend a committee meeting and see if this is for you. WE ARE WAITING TO WELCOME YOU TO OUR FRIENDY AND DIVERSE HALLA BOARD !!!!! A fantastic opportunity to help and make a difference for the community. All assistance is greatly appreciated. For further details please contact Giuseppina Caligiuri, HALLA Vice Chair at email Hallaassociation@gmail.com or telephone: 01224 498 164 / 07511377364.
