To lease a new town centre building which will provide a Day Centre - Foodbank - Community Fridge - Drop in centre - Warm Space - Veterans Lunch Club.Advice Centre .
Currently we are operating several of these community groups from a very old church building , in order to create a purpose built community hub and day centre we need to agree a lease on this town centre building that will be completed by March 25 - Our fundraising will centre around the cost of the yearly lease , we will of course contact several sponsors to help us achieve this very worthy project. Carterton is a fast growing town attached to RAF Brize Norton so we are also planning to support the many veterans who have retired and live in the community . As a well established Foodbank( 2014) community fridge / lunch club / drop in centre , we wish to expand these groups to initiate a day centre and a drop in advice centre and create the Carterton Community Hub a one stop hub for support and information. We need your help to do this . Today I was presented with a cheque from Carterton Community College in order to support what we are doing .
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Support to our most vulnerable families within our community and outlying parishes by providing - Drop in for Advice - Foodbank - Community Fridge - Lunch Club - Veterans meeting place - Safe Space .
Steps to get it done:

VolunteerThe foodbank was established in 2014 to support the many residents that were experiencing financial hardship. We have hd several homes since that and are currently operating from a small room in a church - whilst we are very grateful for this we have now outgrown the premise . We have expanded what we do to now include a community fridge- lunch club- Drop coffee mornings - Warm spaces and support to our users .
The project would if the funding becomes available enable us to move to a town centre premise on a five year lease that would be available late spring - If successful then we would become the - Carterton Community Hub - we could offer a Day Centre - Foodbank - Community Fridge - Lunch Club - Warm Spaces Advice Centre - Veterans Support / Club.
