The Bottega Project C.I.C.

The company's principal activity during the year continued to be the provison of bespoke accomodation. We continued to work with local community groups on commissioned work and on a voluntary basis. Our main building project of the year was for Meadow St Community Gardens – a sculpture trail for their site including an entrance feature, a beautiful building, a series of nature based rubbing plaque posts, and a metal water feature. Work on the project is ongoing. We also carried out a number of small gardening jobs for local individuals, and two carpentry skills sessions with a local residents association. We also started a series of Open Workshop events to bring people into our newly renovated work space where we’ve upgraded the kitchen and upstairs clean area to facilitate meetings, chats and video recording/podcasts planned for next year. The open sessions and those delivered out in the community have upskilled participants and built on relationships with community groups which will help with our longer term School for Change plans.
