From line dancing to teenage clubs – Moulton residents share dozens of ideas for new community activities
A community centre in Northampton has been overwhelmed by the response from residents after asking what new activities and classes they would like to see introduced.
Moulton Community Centre invited suggestions for its programme over the coming months, prompting dozens of ideas ranging from line dancing and cooking lessons to teenage clubs and wellbeing sessions.
Several residents called for more activities aimed at teenagers, including board game evenings, bicycle repair workshops, revision clubs and cooking sessions.
Others suggested adult craft workshops, sewing lessons, French classes, ballroom dancing and even silent discos.
Fitness and wellbeing proved particularly popular, with requests for yoga, Pilates, tai chi, Zumba and line dancing.
Suggestions also included a men's mental health group, community choir, activities for children with special educational needs and disabilities, and a coffee club for veterans.
The centre has since thanked residents for their enthusiastic response, saying it was "absolutely blown away" by the number of suggestions received.
Organisers confirmed they have recorded every idea and are now considering which activities could be introduced over the coming months.
A current list of existing classes, groups and activities is available from the centre's welcome desk, Monday to Saturday.
