Fantastic to have representatives from various community projects on a local, regional, cross border and cross community basis come visit the BMSS team to hear our story and hold us as a model of good practice.
All those in attendance were intrigued by the project and weren't short in asking questions (which is always good) proper civic engagement!
The Individuals in attendance were part of the Ambit22 group that travelled to the USA and had the pleasure of spending time with our very own Philip (funny he never even mentioned he was going😜)
Thankyou to all attendee's, no doubt we will Cross paths again in the very near future.
On Wednesday 11th May BMSSP in conjunction with its partners and project architect held a stage 4 visioning session of the new shared space building.

Thanks to all that came and who attended online.
