Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council Community Centre Framework |
Strategic Framework for Community Centre Provision
Dear community group member
Framework for Community Centre Provision
We would like to hear your views!
Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council has developed a Strategic Framework for Community Centre Provision which is a decision making process to identify how well an area is catered for in terms of provision of community facilities and how we, as a Council, can support community centre provision.
There are a number of Council owned community centres across the Borough and there are also a large number of community centres and other facilities used by communities that are provided by community, church, cultural and other organisations.
The purpose of the Framework is to:
1. Provide a process to proactively identify gaps in Community Centre provision across the Borough;
2. Guide the Council decision making process in relation to capital investment through the Capital Grants Programme, and capital investment in existing Council owned community centres;
3. Guide Council’s approach to operating and developing Council owned community centres as hubs of community activity;
4. Guide how Council provides support to community organisations that are operating community centres.
We have identified key standards that we believe should apply to community centre provision, around issues such as distance/time to travel, cost etc and have also provided a range of options to help address gaps in provision across the Borough.
We would like to hear your views! We would appreciate you taking just a few minutes to complete and submit this short survey.
If you have any queries please feel free to contact Louise Scullion or Adele McCloskey at Coleraine office on 028 7034 7032 or by e-mailing community.development@causewaycoastandglens.gov.uk
Many thanks for your time!
