Naomi Griffith is taking part in our Community Business Leadership Programme<\/a>; a\u00a0partnership between Power to Change, RIO<\/a> and Sheffield University Management School<\/a>.\u00a0This\u00a0support programme for community business leaders combines leadership training and expertise\u00a0with fast-track connections to experts and industries. Here she, alongside Georgie Grant, both Directors of Onion Collective in Watchect, Somerset, give us an insight into what really happens when a community comes\u00a0together to imagine the\u00a0future of their town.<\/p>\n Last month, Watchet in Somerset opened a newly restored Boat Museum<\/a> with attached Visitor Centre. It is part of an on-going community development project to help make a small rural town resilient and future proofed and is part of a series of new capital build projects planned for the town. The project is led by social enterprise Onion Collective CIC<\/a>, an organisation working for community-led regeneration. The boat museum and associated land was transferred to the community by the local district council by Community Asset Transfer. The build was grant funded, and the internal structure of the museum was built by volunteers.<\/p>\n
