Knightswood Community Centre originally opened in 1950 when it operated from what is now the GHA offices on Dykebar Avenue. The present Community Centre building, built 1968-1969, covers an estimated 1,100sq m over two floors, with approximately 865sq m available for lease or hire.
The main accommodation and facilities include; a commercial kitchen and café area; a main hall with stage and dressing rooms; a lesser hall and other multi-purpose rooms for lease/ hire; several support rooms/offices and onsite parking.
The Centre was managed and operated by Glasgow Life until October 2015 when it was transferred to community management by Glasgow City Council. It is now operated by Knightswood Community SCIO (Charity Number SC044148).
Knightswood Community Centre is supported by a range of funders. The Trustees gratefully appreciate this support that enables them to continue to run this fabulous community resource. We also generate income from the lets/ bookings from the fifty groups and organisations that use the Centre. The two main sources of grant awards are from Glasgow’s Communities Fund and the National Lottery Community Fund.
The geographic area covered is mainly the G13, Knightswood, area of Glasgow but is not just limited to Knightswood.
All age groups are welcome, especially those of school age and the elderly, of which Knightswood has a high proportion.
“we believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression”
Our goal is for Knightswood Community Centre to be clearly identified and truly recognised as the centre of the community in Knightswood.
