III. Organisational Structure:

Board of Directors: The Centre is managed by a voluntary Board of Directors, committed to providing a facility that underpins community activities and remains accessible to all. The Board manages risk, governance, finance, business and commercial strategy and human resources.

Centre Staffing: We are staffed by seven enthusiastic and friendly colleagues. They are led by a Centre Manager, whose responsibility is to run the Centre on a day to day basis and support the development of current and future services and events. We are very proud of our staff and the level of service quality that they provide – their versatility and “can do” attitude is at the foundation of the Centres success.

We're actively seeking new volunteers to enhance our Board with valuable expertise, particularly in marketing and HR. These Director roles can be fulfilled remotely, allowing participation through video meetings, etc. Additionally, we're in need of individuals to spearhead the development of a sponsorship program. This initiative aims to cultivate support from local and regional businesses and communities. Coupled with a grant funding strategy, this program will bolster the Center's visibility and secure its continued success.
