BRONLLYS: THE NEXT TEN YEARS (2020-2030)
6.5.7 Chapel
The refurbished Chapel would be a cultural hub for the surrounding communities, providing a venue for arts, meetings, performance, cultural activities, and religious services. This is intended to be a flexible space offering a welcoming focus for creative learning and skills exchange, (for example intergenerational teaching of IT skills). Therapeutic Art Courses for people and their carers, Art and Writing for Self Expression, and Expressive Art Workshops are just some of the proposed uses. The Veteran’s Group has expressed the wish to use the building and is prepared to help raise funds for its restoration.
6.5.8 Co-care Housing
Co-care housing is proposed to be housed in the re-purposed Nurses Home building (currently the Pain Clinic) and be homes for families who have a disabled member. Based on co-housing principles with an enhanced level of co-operation and sharing, with specialist facilities available – e.g. a Namaste Room – it aims to improve the lives of those with various conditions and to give regular respite to their Carers. It is an innovative solution to the challenge of increased care needs and will help combat the isolation that caring can bring.
6.5.9 Co-housing
Possibly located in the re-purposed Training, Personnel & Library building, this would be a multi-generational complex offering a balance of community and privacy with its own garden for cultivating vegetables, a hen-run etc. The complex could probably include about 20 to 25 units of varying size, ranging from 3 bed units to studio flats. A mixture of tenures including purchase for life, shared ownership and social renting, with no profit on re-sale.
6.5.10 Community Hire, Restore & Repair Shop
This is where people can borrow, hire, restore and exchange things or repair them. Consisting of a shop and a workshop adjoining, it would encourage re-use as well as recycling, working to reduce the need for the large amount of “stuff” it is so easy to accumulate. It could also be one of the many social spaces on the site and also offer not for profit employment and/or fundraising opportunities.
6.5.11 Community Nursery
The Community Nursery would deliberately be located in a new, purpose-designed building adjacent to the Dementia Home in order to encourage inter-generational interface as appropriate. Both facilities require a secure, gated space and to a degree this can be shared. The nursery would provide for children of those working on the site as well as children from the surrounding communities.
6.5.12 Community Orchard
