Update - 12 June 26

We have now raised over $950,000 to renovate this community space and youth hub, transforming it into a vibrant, fully functional place where local young people can connect, grow, and thrive.

Construction begins in July 2026!
 

We are now fundraising to equip the space with things like a pool table, table tennis table, chairs, furniture, and other essentials to help bring the hub to life.
 

A huge thank you to the funders who have committed to supporting this project: Len Reynolds Trust, Lottery Grants Board, WEL Energy Trust, DV Bryant Trust, Gallagher, Trust Waikato, Glenice & John Gallagher Foundation, Lodge Tawhiri, Altrusa International of Hamilton, and Cambridge Drainage and Earthworks and Hamilton Central Rotary.
 

We also extend our gratitude to Hamilton City Council for generously gifting the unused changing rooms and to everyone who has contributed through our Givealittle page or donated directly via our reception donation box.
 

Join us in shaping the next 50 years and help create a lasting resource for future generations.

Why This Matters
For nearly 50 years, Western Community Centre has been a safe space, a launchpad, and a home away from home for so many youth. This new hub will continue that tradition, giving today’s youth a place to build friendships, grow skills, and find support. Future generations will enjoy this tremendous resource just steps away from the skate park and court where so manyof our community’s best memories were made.
 

Regular Support
Consider setting up a small weekly donation to help our programs grow! A little each week can keep the hub stocked with supplies, equipment, and new opportunities for local youth.


You can donate via our Givealittle page, at our centre reception or through our bank account: 03-1355-0693330-00 (SBS Western Community Association).
