Where Are We?

The College
Constitution Hill Road,
Parkstone,
Poole, Dorset.
BH14 0QA

When you join the CWYM you automatically become a part-time student at The College (Bournemouth and Poole College of Further Education). The College provides the accommodation and the staff for the Centre.

The CWYM rehearsal venues were originally part of a complex of buildings forming a local branch of the Doctor Banardo’s Homes. As you move around The College site, you can still see parts of its history – not least St. Andrew’s Hall (home of the Wessex Youth Orchestra), formerly St. Andrew’s Chapel, used in the past by the Doctor Banardo’s boys for their church services on Sundays.

It seems fitting that a venue originally built to provide young people with a better education and future, continues to do so well into the 21st century, providing accommodation not only for CWYM members but also for the full-time students at The College during the week.
