About Us
Kingswells is fortunate to have two community facilities: Kingswells Community Centre, located in the heart of the village, and Webster Park, situated on the outskirts of Kingswells on the road towards Bucksburn.
Kingswells Community Centre features a large sports hall and a welcoming coffee shop, alongside an extensive programme of activities, groups and events for people of all ages. Webster Park is a smaller studio facility with excellent outdoor amenities, including a full-size football pitch and a multi-use games area.
The independent Management Committee employs a dedicated team of staff to oversee the day-to-day running of both facilities, ensuring they are welcoming, well-maintained and used to their full potential for the benefit of the whole community. The Committee is made up of local people who live or work in the area and volunteer their time to help shape how the facilities are managed and developed.
Alongside our regular programme of activities, we are proud to provide a wide range of affordable services, support and community events. These are tailored to meet the changing needs of local residents and to support people and families through the challenges of today’s economic climate.

Mission Statement
Here at Kingswells Community Centre we strive to provide a welcoming, inclusive and community-focused hub where people of all ages can connect, learn, participate and thrive. We are committed to keeping our services, activities and facilities affordable and accessible, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to community involvement. Through partnership, volunteering and local engagement, we aim to strengthen community spirit, reduce social isolation, support wellbeing, and create opportunities that benefit everyone in our community.
Becoming a Scottish Charity
As part of our commitment to securing the long-term future of our community facilities, the Management Committee and staff have worked hard to gain registered Scottish charity status.
To achieve charitable status, an organisation must apply to the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator, known as OSCR, and demonstrate that it has charitable purposes and provides a clear benefit to the public. Registered charities must also meet ongoing legal, governance, accounting and reporting responsibilities.
Becoming a Scottish charity will strengthen our governance, increase transparency and accountability, and provide greater opportunities to access charitable funding and grants. It will also help us develop our facilities, expand our programme of activities and continue providing affordable and accessible services for everyone in the community.
Through charitable status, strong local partnerships and the continued support of our staff, volunteers and community, we hope to protect and develop Kingswells Community Centre and Webster Park for current and future generations.
