William Collyn 1521 Community Centre
The team

The friendly faces behind the Centre.

A small, local team who genuinely love this place. We're here to help you find the right room, run a smooth event and feel right at home in Girton.

Tom, Centre Manager at William Collyn Community Centre
Centre Manager

Tom.

Tom is a proud Cambridge United supporter — you'll often find him at the Abbey on a Saturday afternoon, and he's helped run community days and youth coaching sessions linked to the club. That love for grassroots community is exactly what he brings to William Collyn: making sure every group that hires a room feels genuinely looked after.

Before the Centre

Previously worked in operations and venue management, looking after busy public-facing spaces before joining the Centre.
