Broadfield Community Centre Survey Findings
Introduction
Surveys
The aim of the surveys was to gain a better understanding of local community provision, what services are currently provided to support local people and their families physical, emotional health and wellbeing. Also, to identify what gaps there might be.
45 people completed the user’s survey and 20 people completed the hirer’s survey. Over 30 young people from the local youth group completed this exercise and the responses have been included in the report.
Surveys and conversations
Many respondents stated that the Broadfield Community Centre is a friendly place to meet people with staff in the office to help when required. However, a number of responders stated that they did not know what activities were provided.
Summary
In summary, the Broadfield Community Centre is well placed and plays a strong role in the delivery of a wide range of activities and services.
The types of activities provided by hirers ranged from health, educational activities, exercise, and specific activities for children and young people and older people. The experience of administration at the Broadfield Community Centre ranged from good, very good to excellent.
