Planning Permission Submitted

Planning Permission Submitted

This week has seen plans for the first purpose built Nest submitted to the local planning authority. With huge thanks to the amazing team at Strom Architects we are a step closer to realising our dream to create a purpose built centre in the heart of the countryside for young people struggling with their mental health. Featuring the 'Nest' building with a central kitchen, offices, and therapy space, an agricultural barn for storage, workshops and training, and a produce hub where products will be made and sold to the public.

We couldn't have done it without the amazing support of the following people:

Please keep everything crossed that the local authorities, local residents and everyone in between loves the plans as much as we do and we can take another step closer to making our dream a reality.
