Lenzie Community Hub
LENZIE COMMUNITY HUB: A place for everyone!
Since the meeting in June Lenzie and South Kirkintilloch Community Development Trust (LASKCDT) has made contact with all the professionals that are necessary to compile and submit a bid to refurbish and run Lenzie Public Hall as a community asset. There have been discussions with EDVA, EDC, architects, quantity surveyors and lawyers to ensure the best bid possible is submitted.
The bid will have a significant focus on developing a community based service supporting children and adults with learning difficulties. People with neurodivergent conditions will also be supported by this community based service. One aim is to make the building a place for those with learning disabilities and those who are neurodivergent, a safe space where they feel valued and understood, and gives them a purpose in life. For that we hope, with the support of organisations like acorns2trees and the support of the local community, we can develop such a venue.
In addition the hall will have a community cafe and there will be available spaces for any locally based activities that wish to hire the hall either on a one off or recurring basis. A suggestion which we hope to take forward is that of a small business hub, somewhere you could meet clients, or associates, and share a coffee and chat.
LASKCDT proposes to lease the Public Hall from EDC and work in partnership with EDC to refurbish and maintain the hall so it is a community asset for future generations. The other important group LASKCDT wish to involve in planning activities within the hall are young people from 1 to 25 years old as it is very important that our young people have meaningful activities and a place where they can meet their friends and develop their interests in a supportive environment.
Many thanks to all who attended and raised hands in support of the idea of Lenzie Community Hub
