A HAPPENING HUB
Ulverston is a creative and generous community. People make things happen here: an incredible range of festivals, support groups, community activities, a community owned park and cinema. But the town needs a nerve centre to bring these activities and groups together under one roof. Something that is so much more than the sum of its parts. A space where ideas can be shared and connections made, creating new opportunities and more activities of benefit to more people. A centre where people have the space and resources to work creatively together, flourish and support one another through difficult times. A place where magic can happen…
Supporting
those in need or crisis
A safe space and welcoming community base hosting key local support agencies, sharing information and resources with the public and with each other.
NURTURING
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH
A space that lifts the spirits and encourages people to get active together, improving both mind and body by participating in social activities and projects, developing friendships, a sense of belonging and purpose.
CREATING
ART, SPACE AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLLABORATION.
Various, multi-purpose spaces for the many diverse and dynamic festivals and community activities that blossom from this uniquely creative and vibrant community. A space where community art and celebration flourish for the benefit of the Furness peninsula and beyond.
CONNECTING
PEOPLE, IDEAS AND OPPORTUNITIES.
A dynamic space for individuals and groups to connect. Services and activities will not take place in isolation; they will be advertised widely to members and through various community networks based in or using the space. Word of mouth recommendations will spark excitement, which will, in turn, lead to a cross-fertilisation of ideas and new activities of benefit to new groups and more people.
INSPIRING
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY FOR OURSELVES AND OTHERS
This space will model environmental practices through the way it is designed and run. It will encourage awareness and agency amongst those coming in, Inspiring and empowering people to make choices about how they live, for the good of the environment and our collective future.
