Jamila House

Jamila House is a community centre located at 14 Victoria Street. It is run by Yasmeen Nazir with the help of her husband Sharif who had helped fund the place.

The property was the original location of the Butcher's Shop which had closed in 2010 after the death of Ashley Peacock. In October 2014 Yasmeen had decided to turn the shop into a community centre in the aftermath of the local library being closed down. She attempted to do the project alone without telling her husband, but when he had found out she managed to convince him to help her set it up. It was opened later that month.

The name Jamila comes from Jamila Nazir, her son's wife who had passed away in 2012.
