We have been engaged by the Local Government Group to deliver a series of workshops for officials, elected members and other stakeholders in Luton BC and RB Kingston Upon Thames on establishing good places to grow old through better use of community assets and improved ways of working. The workshops will build on earlier work carried out in Havering and cover ways to improve partnership working and how to utilise physical  and non-physical assets  more effectively. The outcome of the workshops will be a practical action plan to deliver the desired improvements.

We were commissioned by an IT recycling social enterprise using funding from the Asset Transfer Unit to support its proposal to take over the running of libraries threatened with closure in Lewisham. The proposal was to establish mixed use community hubs including UK Online and IT training, pre-employment projects, a community radio station and cafe. Our role was to write the business case for the transfer resulting in the enterprise successfully taking over three of the buildings.  We are now advising on governance and on securing capital and revenue funding to refurbish the buildings and take the project forward in a sustainable way.

Rich Regeneration was commissioned by Phoenix Community Housing Association in Lewisham, South East London to assist plans for a community hub as part of its new headquarters development on the site of the former Green Man pub in Downham. The work involved developing a business plan for a multi-use community hub in the building, exploring available  sources  of funding and helping to establish a partnership to take the project forward
