Are you passionate about community-led development and transforming spaces into useful, affordable and welcoming places? Bedminster Works is on the lookout for people to join our Board of Directors to help shape the future of community buildings in Bedminster.
Formerly known as the Bedminster Property Partnership, Bedminster Works is a new Community Interest Company (CIC) dedicated to securing long-term, affordable spaces for local independent businesses, community groups, and socially trading organisations. As one of five pilot projects across the UK, we’re supported by Platform Places and funded by the National Lottery Communities Fund.
We believe in the power of place. When people steward and have ownership over spaces in their neighbourhoods, incredible things happen. That’s why we’re bridging the gap between those who have space and those who need it—bringing together property expertise and community passion to create lasting impact.
We’re seeking up to four new Directors who are committed to our social mission, willing to get involved, and excited to help us grow. We’d welcome applications from anyone who is interested in joining us but we’re particularly interested in people with experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Legal (company, contract, or property law)
- Finance (accounting, financial management, investment)
- Property (acquisition, management, development, surveying)
- Planning (urban planning, regeneration, community development)
- Acquisition of buildings (negotiation, due diligence, asset transfer)
