As a social enterprise we operate a range of commercial businesses including installing home insulation products, providing business start-up units and support, employability initiatives and recruitment and waste heat recovery, the surpluses from which are used for community benefit. The Workspace Community fund allows us to allocate a proportion of our surpluses each year so that small grants are available to help finance projects within our local area. Since its launch the Fund has allocated over £92,000 to 257 community projects.
