The Eric Liddell Centre (‘ELC’) is a Christian organisation that acknowledges the infinite value and potential of each unique human being. It is endeavouring, through its current services to maintain a full programme addressing physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual needs by offering:

• A wide ranging community and care programme to meet identified need, in particular this concentrates on the needs of people with a diagnosis of dementia, carers, frail elderly people and young people.
• Quality community facilities for the local population.
• Quality project accommodation for other charities.

The ELC is also committed to the conservation and enhancement of the listed property and its environment.

A review of the Centre’s core work and its use by local community groups confirms that activities at the Centre are defined by the following categories of public benefit:

• The provision of care for the aged, people with disability, young people and children
• The advancement of education
• The advancement of health
• The advancement of religion
• The advancement of civic responsibility or community development
• The advancement of amateur sports
• The advancement of arts, culture and heritage

Every year the Centre provides services to over 130 community, citywide and national groups that serve the 2,500 people who come to the Centre every week.

The ELC has developed a range of programmes to meet needs identified in the local and wider community as a result of research and consultation with partner organisations and individual members of the local population.
