The West Green Road/Seven Sisters Development Trust is convening a series of workshops to shape the Wards Corner Community Benefit Society.
Community benefit societies are a type of organisation that conduct business entirely for the benefit of the community. Rather than profits being distributed amongst members or shareholders, community benefit societies use them for the benefit of the community. The Wards Corner CBS will be a new organisation that will restore and manage the Wards building democratically, delivering the community plan.
To inform this, we’re convening four online workshops, each one focusing on a different beneficiary community. Registration for these workshops is via Eventbrite:
- Market traders and workers, Wednesday 29th October
- Local residents, Wednesday 6th October
- Local businesses, Wednesday 13th October
- Market and town centre users, Wednesday 20th October
These are open to all within these different communities. Workshops will take place on Zoom, and we’ll be recording them for those unable to attend. If you are unsure which event is right for you, or wish to have some advice on using Zoom, please contact us.
Hi Elara we run the Antwerp Arms as a community benefit society. We are the only community pub in north London. If you need any advice on setting up and running a CBS then happy to have a chat. Nick Treasurer Antwerp Arms Association Ltd
