The story of how community adventure playground The Vench used the CRF funding to build a cafe on waste ground. The cafe serves the community, makes a profit to fund and support Vench's community activities, helping them be more self-sufficient and resilient as an organisation.

Hi, um, so just to finish off, is there anything else you would like to add or say? Um, I think what we have uncovered is the fact that the infrastructure is now there, the Community Resilience Fund and Avis and Young Fund have supported this new capital development at the bench. But the ultimate, um, goal for this is that children and young people who have now outgrown the playground and they're perhaps 1617, looking for their next, um, their next adventure or their next life experience, they can come and volunteer. The bench and they can come and volunteer in the cafe and just improve their skills and grow their confidence so that they can then be ready for the next episode of their lives. It's just given out it's given this new um this this new opportunity for local residents, for children, children and young people and local employment so it's just positives hopefully

That's brilliant, excellent. Thanks. Thank you

Thank you..
