The Walkway Community Centre
It was both an honour and a privilege to speak at and perform the official opening of the new-build Walkway Community Centre. I was joined by Gareth Johnston, TEO.
The centre, in the heart of east Belfast, serves and meets the identified needs of the local community.
Over a long number of years it’s been a pleasure to work with the dedicated and ambitious Walkway volunteers. They worked hard, faced and overcame difficult challenges, as the plans for an up-to-date facility were developed. For many years the community work was carried out in temporary hard-to-heat portable buildings.
The volunteers fought a skilful campaign to secure the extensive project funding; they earned the confidence of funding bodies.
This state-of-art facility is a credit to those who put in the long hours and delivered a facility that will be used by parents, children, teenagers and senior citizens; the complete community spectrum.
Well done to all at Walkway.
