Decision details

To improve the communal garden area and high street and learn how to improve the immediate environment in order to benefit nature.

To provide funding of £250 to the above project.

Reason for decision:

We host a broad range of activities at the Network, most of which are free.

We help to support vulnerable adults, and people of all abilities. Whilst we are keen to encourage all those socially isolated/disabled or suffering from mental health problems, we focus on integrating all members of the community and offer a welcoming social space: most recently hosting the popular Annual Exhibition of Unusual Art. The Network activities are open to all. We also give our space freely to groups such as The Autism Group and the Nepalese Attendees often become volunteers, and we encourage the recognition that everyone has something to offer.

Often people who are unemployed due to a variety of reasons will volunteer here to gain experience or rehabilitate themselves back into work, or learn that they can give to society in a variety of ways such as joining in with our Litter Picking Group or being part of fundraising activities that we host for other charities.
