Horwich Resource CentreThe Resource Centre was officially opened by the Town Mayor on Saturday, 27 April, 1991. It is a base for voluntary groups and supporting services. Voluntary groups use the Centre for activity sessions, committee meetings, luncheon clubs and fund raising events. Supporting services are those considered to be of community benefit, such as child care, facilities for older people, the disabled and community education. The number of groups using the Centre on a regular basis has increased steadily with weekly, monthly and annual events.
