22/02/2010 Community Suite for Newmarket

March sees the official grand opening of Orbit East's new Community Suite at Brough Scott House in Newmarket.

A first of its kind for the Eastern region, this facility will provide a much- needed hub and a valuable resource for the community of Newmarket, where there has previously been no provision for a local drop in centre. 

The Community Facility features an IT training suite, plus soft and formal meeting rooms, and will facilitate a programme of learning opportunities and community projects - giving local residents a central venue to receive a wide range of services including:

  

  • Adult training including computer skills, CV and letter writing
  • Access to Tenancy Support Workers  
  • Internet access  
  • Access to other support and voluntary agencies  
  • Coffee mornings and a befriending service for new residents  
  • Housing surgeries and Benefit advice

     

We are very grateful to have received support from CLC, Haymills, Paintright, Heron Build, RG Maintenance and the Local Police Community Support Team, who will use the facility as a base for surgeries and appointments.

Brough Scott, the well known racing and sport personality, will officiate at the grand opening on 4th March.
