The strength of a community project is in the local people who join in to make it work. We are going to create a series of community panels so that volunteers can play a full part in the efforts; that will come once the main early hurdle – purchase – is overcome. Right now, we need as many people as possible to pledge – this makes a huge difference to our chances of raising the grant funding we need.

Please email our project manager Rachel on [email protected]  to volunteer or find out more about the panels. We will be focusing these sessions on community, training and business. We envisage them running from September to November 2025 and they will be vital in informing the design team and project team. The building is to be owned by us, for all of us.
