Notice Title

PSF4 Lot 1b & 3b - Workington Together Community Hub

Notice Description

In line with Cumberland Council's Prevention Approach, the concept of a "Third Space" has emerged as a crucial element in a community's social infrastructure. A Third Space (distinct from home, work, school and caring environments) offers a neutral and welcoming environment where individuals can come together for community activities, to access services, and receive holistic support early. The Council has an opportunity to establish a third space /community hub in Workington within the existing Workington Library Building and requires a professional services consultant to work alongside in order to develop the property to the desired service standard.
