Making a move

The Lumbard Community Centre (LCC) is a thriving organisation with a youth group, a pensioner's campaigning group, a gay rights service and a mother & toddler's group. There are about forty 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.

Management Committee:

'It would be great if you could sort this out. Y'know, make sure everyone's on board.

It could be a really stressful time, and we don't want to loose anyone in the move.

Its over to you.'
