About The Venue
The Sumac Centre is a self managed and coop owned social centre. A place for the community to come together, socialise, and work together towards many aspects of social change. It provides resources for community groups and individuals interested in and campaigning for human rights, animal rights, environmental protection, peace, and social justice worldwide. It actively promotes mutual aid and co-operation.
The Sumac Centre receives no regular funding and exists purely through the hard work of over 50 volunteers from the local community. For more info see:
