About GPCS
Community spaces,
run as a not-for-profit.
Great Park Community Spaces is the operating company that runs Great Park Community Centre. We are based in Newcastle upon Tyne and now taking on new sites across the North East.
Where we started
Built to run one centre.
Now open to more.
We are a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee. Anything left over goes back into the spaces we run, not to shareholders, and every site gets the same open books: a monthly report on bookings, income, costs and compliance, in plain English.
