Charities on board at community centre
Two empty flats in Wales have been turned into a community centre thanks to an £80,000 grant.
Walesonline.co.uk reports that the centre will be used by such charities and organisations as Age Concern, Lone Parents, Communities First and Homestart.
The council flats in Garnlydan, near Ebbw Vale, have been converted into one large venue using the money from the Heads of the Valleys Sustainable Regeneration Fund.
Welsh Assembly Government deputy minister for regeneration, Leighton Andrews, called the new centre "a great resource for the local community".
The project was organised by the Ebbw Vale and District Development Trust along with the Rassae and Garnlydan Communities First Partnership Board.
Build Wales and a local contractor then carried out the work.
Meanwhile, those working in e-recruitment may be interested to hear that mobile working technology firm Consilium Technologies is supporting a property regeneration investment in the north-east.
Its TotalMobile technology will help staff handle rent and repair updates remotely for over 5,500 properties in the £80 million project.
PublicTechnology.net reports that housing authority Wansbeck Homes is using TotalMobil to help its maintenance teams.
