The idea
We are trying to raise money to change a space that is not being used and turn it into a retail space for our clothing and a hub for the community. We can use this space as a hub to focus on getting local individuals primarily between the ages of 16-30 into employment, higher education or running their own business. Most of the individuals that we work with our those who are finding it hard to gain employment currently maybe due to English not being their first language or because they have a criminal record.
What we'll deliver
- clean and fix up the location
- paint the walls
Why it's a great idea
We can inspire and change the perception of a lot of the people in the community as we have also been raised in similar circumstances so we are very relatable. We also have a different, more personable relationship with these individuals so we can change the negative perceptions of these individuals in a way that they would understand.
We can also use the retail space to maximise on our own sales and grow as a local business.
Steps to get it done
- fix interior of hub
- fix the outside of the hub
- clear rubbish from floor
- paint walls
