The Community Programme is a programme run by the club which involves charitable events and things that bring local areas together. Currently the organisation operates solely in charitable purposes, e.g. donating to hospices, and giving to needy children.
The Programme took a big step forward in February 2012 when plans were put forward to build a brand new SWFC run community centre on Penistone Road, just North of Hillsborough Stadium. The new Building will be the "Biggest and best of its kind in Britain" featuring environmental sound methods of energy, and 5.2 acre floor plan. It will feature similarity facilities to the average community centre, but it will be considerably larger, and all branded towards the Club. A partnership will also be held with Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice who will have several of the function rooms in the new building.
Planning permission was granted for the facility on in May 2012. Construction is due to start this summer, with completion mid-2013.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or programme:
“Fortunately art is a community effort—a small but select community living in a spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh.”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
