ABOUT US

​

Dunston Activity Centre has transferred from Gateshead Council to Dunston Family Church as a result of the £110m of savings which the Council has been required to make since 2010.

​

Following the takeover, some changes are now in place. For example, the library has become a volunteer-run library with support from the Council. The gym continues to operate and anyone who is a Dunston Activity Centre member will have access.

​

Cabinet Member for Culture, Sport and Leisure Councillor Gary Haley said: "There had been some concern locally that the centre has been threatened with closure. I am pleased to say that this is now definitely not the case.

​

"By transferring responsibility for the building and its services to the Dunston Family Church, we have safeguarded the future of the centre."
