About the Great Park Community Centre Association - Registered charity (no. 1155567)

The Centre is overseen by a not-for-profit Association, which is a registered charity with the Charity Commission. The Association exists to ensure that the Centre is run for the benefit of the local community, offering high-quality, inclusive services and activities that respond to the needs of residents.

At the heart of the Association is a Board of volunteers, made up of local people from a variety of backgrounds and professions. The Board meets bi-monthly and works closely with the Centre’s management team to guide the strategic direction of the organisation and support its effective day-to-day running.

The Board currently has eight trustees, with space for up to ten. Together, they bring valuable skills, insight, and independent oversight to ensure the Centre is being run to the highest standards.

The Trustees Role
Trustees play a vital governance and support role. Their responsibilities include:
• Setting the strategic direction of the Centre
• Working collaboratively with the management team
• Monitoring finances and compliance with legal and charity regulations
• Providing independent oversight and accountability
• Championing the Centre and acting as a voice for the local community

This helps maintain high standards, ensure sustainability, and continue delivering a wide range of services that benefit the community.

The Association is proud of the role it plays in ensuring the Centre is accessible, well-managed, and shaped by local needs. If you'd like to learn more about the GPCCA or the work of the trustees, feel free to get in touch or visit our Charity Commission Link .
