On 1 October 2024, after a long delay due to the Covid pandemic and the subsequent vaccination programme, Eastbourne Borough Council transferred the lease of the community centre to the Sovereign Harbour Community Association (SHCA), a community-based charity (registered charity no. 1209189)

 

The charity's trustees are focused on delivering and growing an inclusive, safe, and accessible space where the community can come together for companionship, support, well-being, and enjoyment.

 

Apart from our Caretaker the community centre is run by volunteers. Over the coming months, SHCA plan to host and organise events and activities to welcome everyone inside and launch the new facility.

  

Establishing this community hub has been a long-held aspiration for the neighbourhood and residents, and together we aim to create something special.
