ARGYLE BUSINESS CENTRE TRUSTEES. REPORT {CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 The charity wishes to have all units rented. The 10 new units, totalling an extra 9,OOOsq.ft of lettable workspace were handed over on 14th Jan 2022, providing in the region of 30 newjobs on site. The charity which now owns the former Shankill Road Mission building is re-thinking its major project to create a social economy 4 Stsr Hotel with a community base and a focus on training and up-skilling of local people. The worldwide Covid-19 pandemic hit the hospitality and tourism industry hard, and the Shankill Hotel Project is now being re-considered for build in a 'phased' manner, with an initial smaller build, which can be expanded as need arises and is proven, and with more of a focus on training for the devastated hospitality and tourism industry, which may in the short-term become more dependent on local custom. A late development proposed and agreed in December 2022 for the Shankill Mission Building was as a 'meanwhile' home for the Vault Artists Collective, who were having to relocate from their current building In East Belfast, which was due for demolition in June 2023. The plan to rehabilitate the Shankill Mission Building for occupalion after being vacant since July 2009, and enable 30 artist studios, and some large performance spaces to be accommodated in the premises, has been quite successful. TheArgyle Board funded £100k to refurbish the Shankill Mission building, make exterior and roof weatherproof, carry out interior building work and water services refurbishment, upgrade electrical systems, and upgrade Fire Alarm system to the level required by a new risk assessment, for intended occupation and public use in June 2023. The Vault Artists Collective contributed approximately £40k in Internal upgrades and fitting out for their purposes, and the equivalent of £30k in in-kind volunteer hours.

ArtEZ has now been awarded a UNESCO Chair (for at least 4 years) in Issues Based Art Education for its work in Shankill, Morocco and Arnhem, and Argyle is looking forward to this continuing successful collaboration. Following the passing of founding Director Baroness May Blood, the Argyle Board felt that a fitting legacy would be the setting up of the 'Baroness May Blood Third-Level education Bursaries, to help local student overcome some of the financial barriers of conlinuing education. For academic year 2023124 the Bursary Scheme, fully funded by Argyle. awarded £21,000 to 24 Shankill students, {£1.000 for full-tlme courses. £500 for part-time courses.
