SWS donates £1,000 to building transformation

SWS Broadband has donated £1,000 to an appeal transforming a former Newsagents into two upstairs flats and a ground floor space for local enterprises, charities and NFP organisations to use.

The appeal is being run by Bishop's Castle Community Land Trust’s (BCCLT) which is looking to raise a total of £50,000.

The two flats being created will be let by the Trust for local people in housing need who may not be eligible for a housing association property.

The business space downstairs will be let on a flexible, short term basis to people and enterprises who wouldn’t normally have such an opportunity.”

Rachel Corner, Sales Director at SWS, said: “Like SWS, Bishop's Castle Community Land Trust is rooted in the local community.”

SWS will also provide the hub with a superfast fibre broadband connection when it is up and running.
