Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
We secured funding from Architectural Heritage Fund to carry out an appraisal on a local, heritage rich building with a view to refurbishing the ground floor to become CASTs headquarters and to house all our projects under one roof. We secured the services of local architects, quantity surveyor and structural engineer to produce drawings, plans and costs. The work will be completed by December 2022 and our ‘next step’ dossier produced early 2023. The Reminiscence Café has been offered a more suitable, warmer space in a local community centre and have commenced a 12 weeks trial period free of charge to judge suitability and popularity of the new space. The trial period ends December 2022. |
