By owning the building outright we would hope that the total rental income from the 19 units could be used to ensure:
1. the continuation and expansion of our internet based talking newspaper service,
2. our recruitment of older volunteers with life experiences that can be passed onto the young people we employ on short term contracts
3. that people with disabilities could be offered at least a year of work utilising current government programmes and self-generated funding.
Most of the tenants in the building are local people operating small businesses, social enterprises or charities that are there to employ local people and provide a service to our community.
Without our community hub being based so close to the town centre many of the businesses would find it difficult to survive.
Charities pay a small fee for our service. Learn more about fees
