Community Hubs are central to how residents in Barkingand Dagenham can connect with each other.
We want to make greater use of these venues by offering them to voluntary, community, faith or social enterprise (VCFSE) partner(s) organisations to enable the creation of community assets, providing activities, support and a place to connect for residents, making better use of the space and resource.
What are we looking for?
Voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) partner(s) / organisations who can develop a programme of activities and support that meets the needs of all local residents
We are seeking a partner(s) which can ensure the continued provision of Library services, and other existing activity, while also developing the site for best resident benefit
All VCFSE organisations will be required to meet the eligibility criteria as set out in the individual information pack and application form
Please note that this space is for all the community and so we cannot accept applications from groups looking to use the space for religious worship due to the size and proximity
Want to visit the space?
We encourage all interested parties to visit the space and have a look around.
