HILLCREST Community Centre has a range of events planned for the coming weeks.

The community centre reopened recently and has been hosting a range of activities for the public to get involved in. 

It has proved to be very popular with people around the Hillcrest and Red Lonning areas of Hensingham coming along to take part in activities. 

Allan Forster, a volunteer at the community centre said: "We're really excited to welcome people back to the centre this year and we have a lot of great things planned. 

"On Mondays, we have a Craft Club which is run through Cumberland Council between 10.30 and 12.30. 

"We also have a Garden Club which will be starting on Sunday, January 28 at 11am. 

"The community centre has been given a grant for tools and a greenhouse."
