Power to Change - Dwaynamics Community Centre

It’s a glorious sunny afternoon in Loughborough Park, and crowds are gathering at the new Community Centre, opening its doors for the first time under new management. 

Smiling faces of garlanded volunteers greet the 250 guests, mainly families with children, attracted by the beats of reggae music, children’s laughter and the smell of a barbecue drifting over the warm air.

This Community Centre has been derelict for 8 years, standing in the centre of the park gathering dust and weeds. Now its potential is coming to life, under the ownership of local boxing gym Dwaynamics, who have refurbished it beautifully.

It couldn’t have gone into better hands. Lorraine Jones, Director of Dwaynamics, has a vision for this place and she’s already putting it into action before the official opening.
