Today we have the opening of the bus, it's been something that's been in the process
00:07
for about a year now, so we're very excited.
00:10
We have a mini Christmas market that's happening today and we want all the communities to come
00:16
and enjoy basically the expansion of what we're doing here at the compound.
00:20
So you'll be able to use it for workshops, coffee mornings, exhibitions and pretty much
00:26
anything that you can think of is the kind of idea that come to us and we'll try and
00:32
make it happen, that's the point of the compound really and just get everybody working together
00:37
and create a nice space for people to use.
00:39
I bought the bus when we first started refurbing the place, so about two years ago
00:45
and the idea was, actually I've bought it off Facebook market of all places,
00:51
the idea was to get a container but then I thought a bus would be far more exciting for everybody.
00:57
And it's taken about two months to refurb it and we got Arts Council England funding
01:07
so that has been absolutely brilliant for us, having that funding has really helped us be
01:16
able to do something like this for the community.
01:18
For us the idea of the bus is that it's an expansion of the compound,
01:22
it's somewhere that can be warm and it can be anything,
01:26
so it's a multifunctional space for the entire community
01:31
and if you've got an idea come to us with your idea and we'll work on a plan to make it happen
01:37
or it could be used for coffee mornings or it could be used as a chess club, a book club,
01:44
an exhibition space, a pop-up shop, I think the possibilities are endless.
