What we offer

A centre for the whole community

Some of these run today from hired rooms. Others open once the Petersfield Centre is complete — here's the full scope of what your donation is building toward.

The building we're buying

A centre shaped around the community

Every room at the Petersfield Centre has a purpose. Here's how the 7,764 sq ft ground floor is planned out.
