Community Centre Week 2026
It’s nearly time to celebrate the Community Centre Week 2026!
Each year we get together to celebrate everything we love about Community Centres, and provide a space for people to share their love and appreciation for these vital community spaces.
This year is no different and we will be celebrating between 19th - 25th July, on and offline!
The theme for 2026 is JOY. We know that Community Centres are at the heart of their neighbourhoods, and often have long histories of bringing all types of joy into the lives of the global communities that call our neighbourhoods home.
We think it’s as important to be celebrating having joy in our lives as individuals, families and communities and think Community Centres, and CCWeek, are great places to do this.
We have a full communications pack for you to download, lots of resources you can use, and templates so you add information about your events!
Get involved online using #loveyourcc and by tagging us at @CCWeekUK on Twitter and Instagram.
