30 years on, and still with local community groups and trustees at the core, Space at the Broomhouse Hub has a new state-of-the-art community building housing a community training café. We have grown and now deliver 17 projects, with 50+ staff and 250 volunteers. We deliver diverse services supporting young people, families, older people and carers amongst others, engaging with local people more than 34,000 times last year.
Whilst holding the integrity of Space at our core, we are a values-led organisation that is:
- Welcoming - Nurturing relationships & kind experiences that enable people to smile, flourish & be resilient
- Fun - Passionate, non-judgmental & friendly people, developing an inclusive community
- Creative - Initiating and embracing challenges, innovation, opportunities and new ideas
- Bold - Ambitious, aspirational and determined to have a lasting impact
