Skelmorlie Village Hub
Summary
Description
The Community Centre will be used to provide a drop-in facility. It will be a weekly come as you please drop-in for the community providing refreshment, social interaction in a club like environment. It is hoped to offer soup, bread, tea and coffee and biscuits. It is assumed that it will run for 15 weeks from December til March and operate for two hours a week. The likely cost to provide this service is estimated as follows: Soup/bread £45/week, tea/coffee £8/week and venue charge £28/week for 15 weeks total cost is £1215. It is estimated that approximately 30 people per week will attend. Should attendance be such that we consider a small charge per head to be reasonable then that will be used to offset expenses beyond any awarded funds.
The drop-in “Warm Hub” proved to be most popular last winter and it ran very efficiently with a rota of enthusiastic volunteers and several local businesses donating food stuffs and ingredients. With further financial support the centre could expand the numbers catered for as news of its success last winter has spread throughout the village.
