about us

Hilton Hall Community Centre was closed by the City Council in October 2008 due to the poor condition of the building and facilities, combined with lack of Council funds necessary to carry out the extensive repairs and maintenance.

Hilton Hall Community Association (HHCA) was set up with the sole purpose of saving Hilton Hall Community Centre from permanent closure and immanent demolition, and to secure its place in the community for the benefit of future generations.

Wolverhampton Youth Judo Centre have been the main hirers at Hilton Hall since 1976 and therefore it is no surprise that they became the main driving force behind the takeover bid for Hilton Hall.  WYJC 'Teamed-up' with the Warlords Rugby Club to explore the possibility of such a take-over.   (Go to 'other web-links' to see the WYJC web site).

In October 2008 the three WYJC Senior Coaches and the Warlords Rugby Club Manager formed a Community Action Group and carried-out several community consultation meetings over the following months prior to forming HHCA.  The next stages included registration with Companies House and lengthy negotiations between the City Council Property Management Team and ourselves on the Terms & Conditions of a long-term lease agreement which was finally signed, sealed and delivered to us in June 2009.

Since June 2009 the three Directors of HHCA have been carrying out the majority of the work listed in our proposed 'Schedule of Work' and overseeing & project managing the rest of the work being carried out by the various 'Trades'.

We are 'on-track' with the repair work to the Hall and with our main 'Year One Objective' of carrying out the essential 'Priority One' scheduled work that is needed to allow us to re-open the Hall soon.  Why not check-out our progress by clicking onto the 'photographs' link above.
