The Keighley Association for Women and Children's Centre has completed an expansion funded with £164,000.
The Keighley Association for Women and Children's Centre (KAWACC) has completed a major expansion of its building to support more women and families in need. The project was funded with £164,000 from the Government-funded Keighley Towns Fund, administered by Bradford Council, along with additional match funding and an access fund grant from the council.
The expansion extends into the centre's former car park and includes two new rooms and a dedicated skills hub to broaden training opportunities. A new lift was installed to ensure the expanded centre is fully accessible. The centre provides education, training, wellbeing services and a safe space for those in need, and has supported four generations of some families.
Naz Kazmi, chief executive of KAWACC, said the expansion was 'about hope, dignity and opportunity' and would 'allow us to reach further, support deeper, and change even more lives'. The new space is intended to help women from all of Keighley's diverse communities overcome isolation, poverty and unemployment.
