The centre offers three rooms for hire, including a large hall, a conference/meeting room, and a smaller meeting/interview room.

In addition to hosting events, Bolney Meadow Community Centre also runs a range of community activities and programmes.

The Bolney Meadow Community Centre is governed by the Companies Act 2006 and operates as a Community Interest Company (CIC). Its Board of Management consists of six dedicated volunteers who meet regularly to discuss the centre's progress and growth strategies. The vision of the centre is to create an inclusive community that fosters a sense of belonging and strengthens aspirations.
