The Acorn Centre
Our Centre was established in the 1960's by members from the local community. The original idea was to create a safe and fun space for all the children in the local area to attend. A youth hub was then created and the Acorn was born. It then went under further development when funds were raised to build the Sports Hall with the idea that this would help self fund the centre as a whole. It has now evolved into a highly popular destination for all of Torbay and offers a wide variety of Youth, Community & Sports activities for everyone to enjoy.

Volunteering Opportunities
We always welcome new volunteers; there are roles to suit everyone. We know that the time you give as a volunteer is based on your other commitments, so if you can only do a few hours a month that is fine… if you can offer more than that, then great.
As a volunteer you will be part of a team, meet new friends, learn new skills and help a local charity.

Smarter collaboration
When organisations with a common aim work together, they can cut costs, improve outcomes and reduce duplication. Collaboration is of particular importance to smaller charities who are looking for ways to create a sustainable long term future.
In simple terms let’s not continually reinvent the same wheel.
Lets share our ideas and talent so that all our communities benefit.
If you are a school, charity or not for profit drop David a line and lets have a coffee and see how we could help each other.
