Westward Community Centre Sustainability
The trustees of Westward Community Centre in Cefn Glas, Bridgend, applied to the Community Feasibility Fund for assistance with a feasibility study for improved use and maintenance of the building.
The building was built by the community in the 1950s and remains independently owned and run. Inevitably, it lacks modern systems of heating and insulation and is currently struggling with high utility bills. The trustees are also looking to undergo a study to determine the best energy saving measures and to develop an action plan to move forward.
The study will comprise of a building condition survey, an energy efficiency survey, a green space enhancement plan and an action plan to ensure the sustainability of the organisation and the community centre for future generations.
