Ferryside Social Enterprise Group
At its recent meeting, the Ferryside Social Enterprise Group emphasized the importance of developing a core business or businesses at the education centre to ensure a sustainable revenue income. The refurbishment and hire of the residential buildings, including catering facilities, would be central to such a business.
As a first step the group are to investigate fast track sources of funding such as the national lottery people and places fund, to cover the capital costs of the project. Following initial contact with the medical centre, it is intended that talks also begin on the establishment a community well being facility which might be able to offer respite care .
The sports group was asked to investigate any local demand for the current hall at the site and to liaise with the boxing club and County council in this respect. Members were also keen to investigate potential future uses for the huts and inquiries in respect of potential arts and crafts were encouraged. Note was made that the RSPB might also be interested in establishing a display area describing local birds.
Officers of the group are scheduled to meet with officers of the County Council and the local member to discuss progress on these issues.

Ferryside Social Enterprise Group
At its first full formal meeting, held on 21st January, FSEG decided to back previously tested public opinion and proposed to raise funds through grants, to establish a community centre and medical centre at the site of the Ferryside Education buildings.
Two options are to be explored, one to dismantle the current buildings and to establish a new build, including a community centre/ sports hall/school hall and medical centre, and an other option to adapt the current buildings for the same purposes and to restore the residential facilities.
Associated options such as establishing a boxing club and arts/crafts/environmental projects including the possible provision of allotments were also discussed. The chair called for any residents who wished to make a constructive contribution to the project to join the newly constituted social enterprise group.
