To approve the payment of Capital grants totalling £202,620 to support delivery against the PCRF themes.
Community Facilities (£2,620)– Miscellaneous equipment purchase
Jobs, Training and Enterprise (£200,000) – Delivery of: Shirehampton JTE Hub; Avonmouth Space4Makers Workshop; Space4Makers equipment; JTE Hub Equipment; PCRF Community Market

Option 1 - The options to deliver the new Shirehampton JTE Hub and Space4Makers Workshop have been developed over a period of 18 months with extensive local consultation.
All other Ward based community venues in Shirehampton and Sea Mills have been considered but unable to confirm an accessible JTE offer. Shirehampton Methodist Church have developed an accessible building solution combined with a sustainable delivery approach in partnership with other local organisations including JCP.
The Space4Makers workshop has been developed in partnership with the Bristol North West Foodbank. Prior to this alternative options have been tested without success. Options included: a commercial tender for a Ward Based Maker Lab which provided no tenders; a community led incorporated group to manage a Maker Fund which did not progress due to lack of capacity within local community organisations. The Space4Makers Workshop offer that has emerged from the testing of options and engagement with Ward based organisations is a robust and sustainable project with a strong network to enable engagement of the hardest to reach residents and potential volunteers and supporters.
