I visited Crownway Community Centre in Earlestown, where I met with staff and volunteers to hear how their services are improving residents’ lives.

The Centre’s modern, inclusive facilities and wide range of fun activities have made it a valued focal point for the communities in Earlestown and Newton-le-Willows, with truly something on offer for all age groups.

I’m proud of all Crownway’s achievements, which together provide a shining example of how the hard work, dedication and determination of local people can pay dividends for our community. I look forward to visiting again soon.
