The Charing Cross Centre is launched
The Charing Cross Centre, Norwich was launched in 1965, by the former Norwich
Education Committee of the Norwich City Council as the "Three C's"
coffee bar for young people which then closed in 1973. Following local government
reorganisation in 1974 the building passed to Norfolk County Council and was
re-opened as a centre for organisations caring in and for the community.
Those early years were a struggle with
funds hard to raise.
A building fund was established by the trustees and in 1982, with the help of Norfolk County Council, a major reconstruction programme
was carried out to provide purpose built accommodation on the first floor. The
Centre is proud to record that several
voluntary groups began their life here.
Recent developments
In 1994 a second floor of rooms was added
by converting unused loft space and general
access was improved with the installation of a lift to the first floor. In
March 1999 the Trustees successfully negotiated the purchase of the freehold
from Norfolk County Council.
