We are absolutely thrilled to have been awarded a £25,000 Investing In Spaces and Places grant by the Asda Foundation to fund essential repairs to the roof of the PRSC building on Jamaica Street.
Our local Asda Community Champion Julie Ryan visited us last week to personally present us the cheque, and meet with PRSC and Stokes Croft Land Trust trustees.
Funding from the Asda Foundation will make a big difference for us. Having only recently acquired this building through a community share offer, there are many aspects of the building which require attention. The support from Asda Foundation allows us to fully repair the roof of this building. This is a big step forward for us, as the repairs will ensure that this community and arts space will be watertight, sparing its users from leaks and drafts. The restored roof will also allow us to explore installing solar panels which would save on running costs and reduce the building’s carbon footprint.
We are very grateful to the Asda Foundation for this generous grant to fund these essential repairs, and look forward to the work being complete in early 2025.
