Welcome to Jubilee Fields Community Centre
Jubilee Fields Community Centre, Shildon is a purpose‑built facility at the heart of the Jubilee Fields estate, providing a welcoming, high‑quality space for local people.
Since opening in 2001, the centre has grown into a trusted hub for the community.
The project was made possible through support from The National Lottery, the Church Urban Fund, and the dedication of local residents who campaigned and fundraised tirelessly to bring a community centre to the town. Their commitment laid the foundations for the vibrant, inclusive space we have today.
As a not‑for‑profit organisation led by a volunteer Board of Trustees, we offer affordable recreational, learning, wellbeing and social activities for all ages. From youth clubs and social groups to training, education and community support, bringing people together to help improve quality of life across Shildon and the wider area.
Recognised as a Wellbeing Hub, we remain committed to providing a warm, and supportive environment where every resident feels valued and included.
