THE VISION

• To involve the local community in fully managing and assisting with the economic and community regeneration of our own inner-city area of Plymouth

• To help bring real life style improvements in the form of jobs, health, wealth and business opportunities, to benefit people from our inner-city area

• To become largely self-sufficient, reducing grant dependency by sustaining our community activities through our own trading- generating surplus from managing the assets developed from capital funding and recycling this money to help

• To provide services for local people.

Both parts of our business are important to us and we strive to be the best possible practitioner in both aspects:

OUR TRADING       

Developing and managing business and industrial premises as well as providing meeting room and community facility hire to provide a sustainable income

INTEGRATING OUR BUSINESS ACTIVITIES TO SUBSIDISE…………

OUR COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES 

Helping people and organisations from our area providing services from our Wolseley Community Resource Building and Jan Cutting Healthy Living Centre plus community infrastructure support by way of finance, advice and support.
