LEVENSHULME INSPIRE
Levenshulme Inspire aims to redevelop Levenshulme United Reformed Church, into a vibrant, multi-purpose community venue, which will provide activities for everybody. The new centre is planned to include ALL FM's new state-of-the-art radio station and recording studios, a community café run by YASP volunteers, training facilities and support for new businesses, and space for community activities, performance arts and Sunday worship. Above the community space there will be 14 unique social housing units, which will be rented to local residents. Inspire is very keen to hear the views of local people about the development, and we would like you to complete an online survey about the building, and in particular about the kinds of activities that you would like to see in the community cafe.
Levenshulme Inspire are especially keen to hear the opinions of local community groups, who might want to benefit from the project.To complete a survey visit: http://tiny.cc/w65YZ
