First of all, congratulations to Martin Roche-Nishimori on being appointed to the board.
As announced at the meeting the company that runs the Phoenix shop and cafe´ is now “Phoenix Findhorn Community Interest Company’.
We were also delighted to be able to tell members that we have received confirmation of a grant from the Scottish Government under the banner of their ‘Strengthening Communities Programme’. The purpose of the grant is to enable us to undertake market research about and create a plan to deliver a new social enterprise centre in Forres, so enabling us “to become a more resilient and sustainable community anchor organisation”.
