→Westcliff Drop-In Centre was established in 1987 and became a registered charity in 1997, working as an independent community project responding to the needs of residents on the Westcliff housing estate and surrounding areas. In 2011 it incorporated as a company limited by guarantee, with a Board of 8 local residents and 2 associate members.
In May 2018 we moved from our previous centre, which was earmarked for demolition, into a new community building and changed our name to Westcliff Community Works.
We are a community anchor organisation. Our vision is for a thriving, united, joyful community filled with inspiration, where all residents have the opportunity and confidence to prosper and lead happy and healthy lives.
