Maybe describe what a "community centre" as it's known in the UK
consists of, or functions as so that those of us not in the UK might
be able to help you identify the tag to use.

The first thing that came to my mind was what we call a "community
hall", a multi-purpose building that can be rented by various local
community groups, or by individuals for private functions. Things such
as Boy Scouts meetings, and wedding receptions, or community
gatherings/dances would be held in these facilities.

However, you might also be talking about a group of buildings or an
area in the center of a town designed as a gathering space, or focal
point of the community. My community is building such a space
currently, with some high density housing, walking areas, a new
library and local government offices.

Perhaps you are talking about something entirely different. Without a
bit of a description, we could send you down many divergent paths...
