Community Centre Coordinator - Durham, United Kingdom - Burnhope Community Centre

Description

Centre coordinator

Our Centre

Burnhope Community Centre is a brand-new, purpose-built facility that opened in 2017. Following Covid we have seen substantial growth of our activities and projects that serve our community.

We currently run two toddler groups per week, an after-school Kids Club, carpet bowls, a walking group, Pilates, Zumba, Keep moving and other fitness classes.

We run a lunch club, bingo nights and several other activities. We have a much-needed Wellbeing Hub to support and signpost people with health issues. Recently we have started a group for those with fibromyalgia and similar conditions, supported by our Wellbeing Coordinator.

Our purpose statement is to be 'In the community, for the community.' We are always looking for opportunities to enhance the lives and wellbeing of local people, their families, and friends.

Burnhope is a rural ex-mining village near to Lanchester, four miles from Stanley and eight miles west of Durham.

We have a population of 1,500 people with plans to add up to another 100 homes, including some social housing.

We are a CIO with seven trustees and five part time staff. Our building is new built, with car parking and some outdoor space, next to the Primary School. We have a small gym, a meeting room, kitchen, and main hall.

Our current coordinator has done an amazing job in fund raising and supporting our growth and we are looking for someone who can build on her work.
