PAL Centre (formerly The Pakistan Multicultural Youth and Community Centre)

Centre providing recreation, health and education, life styles and fitness activities to the local community regardless of race creed and religion.

We aim to improve the lives of people who face many disadvantages. We provide support for older people with social activities and to improve their health. We provide support for people who do not work because of unemployment, ill health or age. The centre is very well known for holding regular karate classes and representing the community on a country wide basis. Regular indoor sports, healthy eating classes and yoga classes are held and are very popular within the community. Coach trips are arranged for the young and elderly to various destinations. This helps to tackle the problem of isolation. PAL centre is also used by the local councillors for their surgeries.
