In the UK many villages and towns have their own Community Centre, although nearby schools may offer their assembly or dining hall after school for Community Centre activities. For example, local schools near Ouston, County Durham may host dance or sporting activities provided by a local community centre.

According to the survey, there are approximately 18, 800 buildings that can fulfil the role of community centres, although only about a quarter of them have that official designation, and, perhaps surprisingly, they’re used by about ten per cent of the British population ever week.
