TRUSTEES are needed for a community centre soon to be opened in Westleigh.

The centre is managed by a registered charity, but is set to become a charitable limited company, which is an opportunity for residents, groups and organisations to get involved.

Deborah Murphy, of Westleigh Community Group in Leigh, said: "The centre has been a dream for the local community in Westleigh for over a decade and it won't be long before the dream becomes reality.

"It's a really exciting time for us, with changes and new challenges ahead.

"But we want the new centre management to be truly representative of the local area. At our annual meeting, we'll be electing trustees to form the management board and we'd like to hear from other community and voluntary groups within the area who wish to nominate a representative to become a trustee."

Any group wishing to nominate a person must be active within the Westleigh area, or have an interest in the area and support the objectives of the Westleigh Community Centre.

Objectives and nomination forms are available online at www.westleighvision.org Nomination forms can also be obtained from the Leigh Township Forum on 01942 776162 or 776164.
