Hexham Community Association brings together residents from the Hexham Estate and North Whitley area, charities and the local authority to work together to help to improve education opportunities, and carry out activities for the welfare, recreation and leisure for the people who live in the local area.

This has had an impact on the - extent to which the programmes can be extended to many more residents. - Bookings for use of facilities at the Community Centre has decreased considerably compared to the previous year. This has been due to complaints from the neighbours’ about noise. This has been resolved through the intervention of the council. We now have a better customer services approach, better facilities and a very clean environment. The trustees want to also take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers for the wonderful job they have done over the year. ## **FUTURE PLANS** **1. Extend program to Staverton Road** **2.
