Development of RE-SOURCE: A Cultural Diversity Centre CCDN consults on the needs and feasibility of a community owned Resource and Training Centre based in Hastings & St Leonards, which not only meets the need for developing a continuous clear and simple “one-stop shop” access point for all Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities, that holds the capacity to share facilities (e.g. office facilities, hot desks, storage, meeting rooms, activity rooms) and support & core costs (e.g. admin and reception services) more effectively. We explore possibilities for greater income generations in order to support sustainability of services to and from BME communities and increased coordination that avoids duplication of service provisions, unless there is specific added value, fostering sustainable long term relationships between BME support organisations and providing generic support to maximise quality, efficiency and learning. Please come, contact us and support our visions for developing a beautiful new home, building community assets, taking pride in welcoming our neighbours, exchanging our rich cultures and learning from each other.
