Summary Report:

• Our primary work concerns the community use of The Spire, our building. The Spire was formally an Anglican church building that had fallen in to disrepair. It is now a vibrant community hub which includes office space for local charities, a community café, a community food store and rooms to hire.

• • The redevelopment of the land surrounding the main building remains a primary objective and we are awaiting planning permission before the sale can complete.

• We have completed the purchase of the adjacent building which is a big step forward.

• At board level we have been discussing how we might further our impact by investing in new and innovative charitable projects. We intend to set up a grant making project using the income from the sale of the land.
