The Trustees of the Community Centre are pleased to announce that we have secured a grant of £5000 from Trust for Oxfordshire’s Environment (TOE2) and their funding partner Grundon Waste Management.
This grant is to convert our hot water boiler system to point of use water heaters and to install a vastly improved boiler management system for the main central heating. These improvements should result in reduced running costs for the centre.

We held our Annual Christmas Craft & Gift Fair this year on Saturday 29th November 10am – 4pm. We had over 30 stalls selling beautiful and unique handcrafted items & other great Christmas gift ideas. Admission was free & the café was open. It proved to be the perfect opportunity to pick up some great presents in time for Christmas then relax in the café with a hot drink & something to eat. The “Frozen” themed grotto was a huge success with proceeds going to the RAFA Calendar Girls.
So thank you to everyone who came along to support our event – we hope you enjoyed it!!

WW1 MEMORIAL CEREMONY
To commemorate and honour the eight local men who died in WW1 and who are named on the town’s war memorial, Carterton Community Centre held a short ceremony of remembrance.
At 11am on August 4th ,100 years after the outbreak of war, as a mark of respect, a memorial plaque dedicated to each man was placed against the eight mountain ash trees which have been planted in the grounds of the Community Centre.
The Service of Commemoration was attended by representatives of the Royal Air Force, Royal British Legion, Royal Air Force Association and Royal Naval Association together with cadets from a number of organisations.
Members of the public were invited to attend with plenty of space available outside the Community Centre’s grounds bordering Sorrel Way and Thornhill Close.

Proceedings were conducted by a member of the Community Centre’s Trustees and the local clergy.

For photos of the Commemoration Service please see our photo gallery.
