It is a well known fact that in all communities certain individuals are gifted with altruistic instincts and are always only too willing to give up much of their leisure time in the service of others.
It was people such as these, under the Chairmanship of Mr D W Thomas, who were present at the inaugural meeting in 1937:
D W Thomas - Chairman
Mrs A M Blackwood
Mr W T Rundle
Mrs H H Berriman
Captain B Kelly
Miss A Smith
Mr F L Harris
Rev H Phelps
Miss Clark
Mr W W Blewett
Mr C H Berriman
Miss C White
Miss M Pratt
Mr Trerise
Miss E F Snell
It was no mean task which faced these pioneers of community service and in order to develop and provide equipment and staff, funds were urgently needed.
By February 1938, funds had been secured to employ a full time warden and the following organisations were established at the centre:
Workers Educational Association
Social Services Committee
Girl Guides
Boy Scouts
Drama Society
Camborne Old Cornwall Society
Camborne Town Band
Infant Welfare Clinic
Fast forward 82 years and two of these - the Girl Guides and Camborne Town band are still at the centre.
