Whitehead Community Association is an independent centre run for the enhancement of the social and communal life of the town.
The Association owns and manages the Whitehead Centre situated at 19 Kings Road, Whitehead. The residents of Whitehead acquired the property (a former cinema) in 1977, to form a Community Centre which is located in the heart of the town’s Conservation Area. Subsequently, major refurbishments in 2007/08 and 2011/12 extended the community space. In the 2019/2020 financial year the Association received grant funding to refurbish the King’s Road side of the building. This project saw the creation of the Whitehead Centre, which serves as a Community Hub, with two additional retail outlet units for start-up businesses in the community.
