USer groups
More than 200 groups and individuals benefit annually from GYMC. Although there was a commitment from 17 user groups when our doors first opened, more than 150 groups and individuals made use of the facility in its inaugural year. That number has now grown to more than 200 annually.
The Centre is currently being used by over 1,000 children and their families on a weekly basis and directly benefits 4,000 additional area residents annually through community concerts.
Some of our regular users include…
