The Council are seeking to appoint an operator to manage the Bucklers Park Community Hub, Crowthorne, Berkshire.
The operator will be expected to manage the Community Hub at a low or not-for-profit basis and ideally the prospective bidder will be able to previously demonstrate the ability to manage a Community Hub on a similar basis. The operator will also have an active role within the local community by promoting the facilities to potential users as well as hiring out the facilities for individuals or community groups.
The Hub building is a new facility available for use, the site is not associated with the employment of any personnel thus meaning there will be no TUPE responsibilities.
