Co-operative Futures helps community hub with solid business planning for the future.
A community hub in Oxford with a mission to support local health and wellbeing, decided that re-developing a building on their site would enable them to offer greater support to the community.
Alice from Co-operative Futures supported them to draw up a business plan for the redevelopment:
“Alice did a brilliant finance model for us. We sat down with her and talked through all the possibilities. She helped us to look at the building and explore when and why it’s in use and when it’s being wasted.
“She also helped us prepare an application to the Community Ownership Fund (COF). Although we realised both the COF timelines and support package weren’t right for us, it helped us put some solid business planning in place and we reached a good understanding of our site and need.”
