Welcome

Community Central Hall was established over 40 years ago as a community trust providing facilities and services to the local community. As a local charity, CCH is responsible for the operation of the 22,000 square feet building on Maryhill Road and a range of services covering babies to older people. We pride ourselves in the diversity of services we offer.

CCH is situated just minutes from the M8 and the city centre between St Georges Cross and Queens Cross offers a wide range of facilities for your event – all within a Grade C Listed building of character.
