We also provide affordable space for small local businesses, charities and grassroots groups who rely on the centre to deliver their work.

We do this by listening to local people, responding to their needs, and creating opportunities for connection, learning and growth. As a charity, we are committed to strengthening community capacity, supporting local partnerships, and ensuring Wormley Community Centre remains a vibrant, accessible hub for years to come.
Broxbourne Big Local is a registered charity (1197644) and Charitable Incorporated Organisation, governed by local trustees and rooted in the values of community leadership, inclusion and long-term sustainability.
Responsibilities

Alongside facilities and events support, the postholder will play a key role in managing bookings, responding to enquiries, issuing invoices, and supporting smooth customer service across the charity.
