The funding is due to the general public’s generosity through the sale of lottery tickets.
Bridlington's new community hub has received £365,751 of funding from the National Lottery.
The community hub is due to open in the new year, the money Will be used over the next five years and amongst other things will help fund a manager for the centre as well as a caretaker.
The new building on Marshall Street is expected to be ready for use in late January or early February.
It sits alongside the new Bridlington Town Council offices which opened this week.
Fiona Turner from ERVAS who have been driving development of the Hub says receiving the money is great news.
It is envisaged that the building will be open at least 5 days a week and will include an informal community space, training and educational space, employment, volunteering and apprenticeship opportunities, a café, a range of drop in services, along with meeting spaces and offices available for other local services, small businesses and community groups to use.
The Community Hub will also be able to provide support for a range of local people and issues including
- Unemployment
- Homelessness
- Veterans
- Financial issues
- Legal problems
- Crime issues
- Health conditions
- Social groups
- Youth activities
Any groups interested in using the centre are encouraged to contact Fiona via email fiona@ervas.org.uk
