Information

The development within existing buildings to provide gathering spaces for community groups and a place for business and employment support.

Funding:

Towns Fund:  £1.21m
Co-Funding:  £0.35m

Key project themes:

Grow the Economy
Reduce Deprivation
Improve Health and Wellbeing

Rationale:

Recognises a lack of COVID-secure space for community groups and organisations
Addresses the need to provide space in the town centre for signposting for skills, careers, jobs and business support.

Project summary:

There are many community groups in Glastonbury that provide support for residents and at present do not have COVID secure premises in which to meet.

This development within buildings currently owned by Glastonbury Town Council will provide this hub. There is an amazing offer in terms of helping people into employment, providing support for vulnerable groups in the community, access to digital support for all, assisting with healthy cooking and living, alongside support for businesses that, at present is not available in the Town Centre.

Outcomes/Impact:

Groups able to access meeting space in town centre.
All able to access advice and services in town centre.
Growing businesses.
Understanding of learning and social opportunities.
Improved health and wellbeing.
