OUR CHARITABLE AIMS
Together for the common good of Cullen
Our aims are to provide recreational facilities at Cullen Community Centre for the benefit of all members of the public, with priority given to the community. They also include the general advancement of community development in Cullen.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Supporting the needs of the community
Good community development is action that helps us to recognize and develop our own local abilities and potential, and to organize ourselves to respond to the problems and needs which we all share.
– to create wealth and give everyone access to its benefits
– to care for all its members, when they need it, throughout their life span
– to provide an environment that is safe and attractive
– to enable people to express and celebrate their creativity and diverse cultures
– to enable everyone to participate in decisions that affect their lives
THREE KINGS CULLEN ASSOCIATION
How we came about
The centre is run by a local charity called The Three Kings Cullen Association, which is directed by a team of local volunteers. In 2017, the local authority announced that it was going to close the Cullen CRC by June 2018 with a view to demolishing the building in 2019 unless the people of Cullen took on the building as a ‘Community Asset Transfer’ (CAT). A community meeting, attended by around 100 people, was held in the Cullen Town Hall where it became clear that the will of the people of Cullen was to keep the centre open.
