Making a move

The Lumbard Community Centre (LCC) is a thriving organisation with a youth group, a pensioners' campaigning group, a gay rights service and a mother & toddlers group. There are about 40 volunteers overall. Each group has a representative on the Management Committee (MC). You are the only staff member.

The LCC building is about to be redeveloped by its owners, and the MC has given you sole responsibility for finding new premises. There are time and financial restraints. Also, you must ensure that a consensus is reached among all the user groups – this is an important ethos of the LCC.

Your aim is to explore the different kinds of decision-making involved in the move, which is in three stages. Follow each step of the process in turn.
