Welcome to the Meriden Sports & Recreation Trust
About Us
The Trust is a charity, set up in January 2016 to support and improve provision for amateur sports, recreational activities and other leisure time activities for all sections of the community in Meriden. We believe that this will enhance the health and well-being of our community.
Meriden is the Centre of England. This has been marked for centuries by an ancient cross on the village green. Also on the Green stands the national memorial to cyclists who died in the World Wars. Meriden is a centre for cyclists and for walkers.
Opposite the Green is Meriden Sports Park, opened in 2011. We support the upkeep and development of the Sports Park and, when resources allow, support other sports and recreational activities in Meriden Parish.
