Vine Centre Community Organisation, Day Nursery and Afterschools Club

The Vine Centre was established in 1970, on the initiative of members of several church congregations on the lower part of the Crumlin Road. Initially, this was in response to a specific problem; due to violence in the area, many local people had been compelled to leave their homes at short notice, and needed help with practical issues such as securing alternative accommodation and moving their possessions. However, over subsequent years the Centre evolved to address a much wider range of issues linked to the physical, economic and social regeneration of the area. For most of its existence, the Centre operated from converted houses in the area, most notably at 227 Crumlin Road. However, in 2003 a new purpose built Centre was officially opened, which has significantly enhanced the facilities available to us, and allowed us to expand the range of programmes, activities and services we could offer to local people, most notably in terms of locally accessible, affordable childcare. The Centre operates within a Christian ethos, which sees the work we do as a practical demonstration of God’s unconditional love for the people of this area; this is reflected in the non-judgemental basis on which we approach those who use the building, viewing all those who access our programmes, activities and services as of equal value, and worthy of the best efforts of staff and volunteers at all times.
