For the last 50 years Community House has been providing a safe space for people in Maindee and surrounding areas

“Building a strong, caring community together”

What we do

Community House is known as a multi-cultural, multi-faith community centre in Newport, serving the neighbourhood of Maindee and beyond.  

Our mission is to build a stronger, caring community together. We do this through the power of communication, learning from each other and working together peacefully.

The building is owned by the Presbyterian Church of Wales and leased to a charity, Community House (Eton Road), which relies on income from its room hire to run the building, supported by a pool of volunteers.  

There are many users of Community House, you can find out more about our groups here.

We have a five day a week youth project, that supports children and young people in the local community. Find out more about our youth and community work here

We bring all these groups together at our Peace Day, held annually every September since the opening of the Peace Garden in 2005.

If you are interested in supporting us. Find out how here.

How it works

Locally, through individuals and group activities

Nationally, through networking with other churches and organisations

Globally, through contacts with people in other countries

Community House provides opportunities:

• For groups to meet to cater for the needs of people of all ages, regardless of faith.

• For groups and individuals to pray, meditate or just relax and be quiet in the Chapel or the Peace Garden.

• To develop new and innovative forms of community gathering

• To focus on issues of peace and justice and inter-faith understanding in a friendly and non threatening environment by:

          –  Meeting together

          –  Exploring ways of meeting particular concerns

          –  Supporting and encouraging people in marginalised situations.

The building is managed and organised in partnership with users and representatives of the local community.
