Red Brick Building

So we built the little Argos office out of Argos catalogues out of the scrap scheme and we set up the café. We had people coming all the time. It wouldn’t die! In fact, after the shareholding stopped, people just kept bringing stuff, so we kept it going.

Working together is the essence of it. Community – that’s what it is.

There’s only one word that comes to me, and it’s transformation, a beautiful episode of transformation.

This is a place where all people can learn different aspects of gardening, and what we encourage is all sorts of groups from the community to come and use this space.

The plan is that Building C – or The Life Factory as it will be known – will make a positive change to local young people – it’ll create opportunities and help them develop new skills so that they have better employment options.

This new phase at the Red Brick Building is really exciting. We’re really happy to be working on two major projects – The Life Factory and Bridie’s Farm – which will both have a massive impact on the experiences and opportunities for local people. We are passionate about being connected with our community and our environment.

It’s a great creative hub for Glastonbury and a wonderful place to be.
