Sainsbury's Otley

We provide a base for the community to meet and provide support and local resources. We deliver courses and activities that have been requested by the local users in conjunction with our many partnerships. Key services at the centre are our free Advice service and our Nursery which predominantly caters for children on 15 and 30 hours schemes. Activities running from the community centre at present range from yoga to read & write for beginners, kids clubs to teaching 55+ about tablets, smart phones and laptops. The community centre is also a link to affordable clothes, toys and food. This is offered through our seconds shack and our toy table, both always full of donations from people locally giving back. We accept food donations from Marks & Spencer, Tesco, Asda, Aldi, Innchurches and Fairshare. These donations go towards preparing free food for our kids group, free food on Fridays scheme and any persons requiring a meal through the meal referred from Advice or our local Foodbank.
