WACA has successfully bid for a grant from the Co-operatives UK Community Shares Development Fund. The grant totals £8,000 and will pay for consultants to advise on the Business Plan and the Share Offer, and enable us to apply for the Community Shares Standard Mark, the kite mark for share offers.
Cooperatives UK would not have awarded this grant unless they thought our proposed purchase of the Post Office and cafe for the community was a good way to go, so we are very pleased.
