Invitation to tender: Lease and management of a community hub in Broad Green (West Croydon)

On behalf of Big Local Broad Green, Local Trust is seeking an organisation to take on a long-term lease and management of a new community hub on London Road, Broad Green. The Pavilion is a key legacy project of Big Local Broad Green (BLBG), a 10-year initiative which has seen £1m invested into the Broad Green area since 2016. The Pavilion will become a vibrant and inclusive community space, delivering services and activities collaboratively with a range of local stakeholders for the benefit of Broad Green residents long into the future.  

Broad Green and the surrounding area of West Croydon has a rich history of voluntary and community sector activity led by strong and credible community partners. Local Trust, in collaboration with the residents of BLBG, now seek a locally rooted organisation with strong community connections to take on the long-term lease and management of The Pavilion and surrounding community garden.  

The successful organisation must demonstrate experience in delivering community services and activities within the Broad Green area of West Croydon. Crucially, they must also be committed to realising the vision of transforming the Pavilion into a dynamic and thriving community space, which supports the residents of Broad Green to feel connected, resilient to change and proud to live in the area.
