Born from the closure of Northcourt Primary School in 2003, we were initially under the management of Kent County Council (KCC).
By 2007, we had transformed into an independent trust, gaining charitable status in 2008 - marking the inception of the Riverside Community Resource Trust (RCRT) and our autonomous management of the Riverside Centre, led by a passionate and experienced Board of Trustees and hard working and dedicated team of staff.
We're a not-for-profit Charitable Trust, dedicated to being a cornerstone of our community.
Our centre is a place for educational and social opportunities, aiming to foster skill enhancement, learning barriers removal, health and wellbeing improvement, educational standards elevation and employability boost within our community.
βTo develop a centre which is totally impartial, non-denominational, multi-cultural, community focused, and sustainable.β
Our mission at the Riverside Community Resource Trust is to enhance the quality of life and overall well-being for every member of our community.
We strive to establish a unique community facility, which is sustainable, flexible, and able to adapt and evolve with the community and clients it serves. The Riverside Centre is a first-class community resource providing facilities for education, recreation, and leisure time.
We don't see change as a challenge, but as an opportunity for development & innovation.
The Riverside Centre stands as a testament to this mission - a first-class community resource, offering top-tier facilities for education, recreation, and leisure.
This is more than just a building; it's a living, breathing space dedicated to community growth, personal development, and the celebration of shared experiences. We are here for Gravesend, today and every day.
