Barnet Council is now seeking expressions of interest for an operator to run our first new community space at the heart of Brent Cross Town.

This is an exciting chance to be part of this exciting new neighbourhood, and a unique opportunity to help shape this space and the activities it provides from the beginning. Our vision for our first new community space is to create a welcoming, flexible space that provides activities and support for people living nearby and complements community activities already offered in the local area.

If you are an experienced operator from the voluntary sector, a community interest company, a consortium, or any other relevant interested organisation with a desire to be part of this exciting new neighbourhood from the start, and a passion for community building and social impact, we want to hear from you.

On 7 and 8 August, we held open days where interested operators had the chance to take a look at the space, meet the team and ask any questions they have. If you were unable to attend but would like to find out more about the opportunity, you can read the summary operator brief here. To receive an expression of interest form, or to find out more information, please email Transformingbx@barnet.gov.uk.

The deadline to submit your application is Friday 29 August 2025.
