About SOCIETY OF RICHMOND CHILDREN'S CENTRES

Society of Richmond Children’s Centres

The Society of Richmond Children’s Centres was founded in 1995 by a small group of community volunteers. The Society opened its first children’s centre in Terra Nova in 1996. Since that date, the Society has opened the Cook Road and the Bowling Green Road Children's Centres.

A dedicated group of community and family members make up our board of directors and oversee the operation of the Society.
