Thank you the Tudor Trust for agreeing to refund RYAG, a massive investment of £73,000 will see the group able to improve internal management and free up staff time to look at expansion and growth into new facilities and social enterprise projects across the town.
With two other more substantial grants in their final stages the potential for us to develop into new area's is looking very promising.
The group has moved slowly forward over the past 12 month, but we hope that by December 2010 we will be in the position to take significant strides forward in contributing to the Regeneration for our town. Our most recent no frills consultation has just been completed by the Infoshop which may change our direction, but at this point the priorities for the next 3 years might be:
Complete the third phase of our HUB proposal.
Develop circa 15 apartments for young people.
consolidate our current programmes and move away from grant dependency.
creation of a young persons gym & fitness centre.
creation of an arts facility.
creation of a community bakery.
