Auckland Youth and Community Centre (AYCC) is a busy, vibrant community hub in the heart of Woodhouse Close, one of England’s most disadvantaged housing estates. We are situated approximately one mile from Bishop Auckland town centre. We support local people of all ages and needs, and we have done so consistently since 1964.
Open at least 6 days per week, we support over 1,500 local people; repeat footfall exceeded 14,000 last year and is still increasing. Our highly skilled and dedicated team of staff and volunteers provide a comprehensive range of activities, services and events designed to support our local community, to bring people together, and to tackle poverty, disadvantage and isolation.
