Kimmie Avison Development Worker/Manager The Gallows Close Centre
The Gallows Close Centre Ltd is a company established by Jim Martin, currently with 2 fellow directors to manage a community Centre situated adjacent to an area of multi deprivation at the request of Scarborough Borough Council, when it divested itself of 4 Play Centres within the Borough as a cost cutting exercise. In recent years Kim Avison was appointed and through her hard work has developed a good volunteer support infrastructure and introduced multi agency use of the Centre with a diverse range of activities.
