I'm really pleased to report that I've just come from Hastings Borough Council's Cabinet meeting where there was unanimous support for granting the lease of St Mary in the Castle to Hastings Trust to enable the project to go forward.
Tomorrow we submit all of the documentation that we've been working on with young people, architects, and other partners for the past six months and hopefully by the end of December we will have had our 'in-principle' grant converted into a real offer of cash!
It's great news for Hastings Trust and for young people in the town, as well as for others who are interested in a sustainable and vibrant future for St Mary in the Castle.
The new facility will be called The Point at St Mary in the Castle, a name selected by young people, and its new logo has been designed by our own youth client team member, Elissa Seddon, a graphic design student at the University of Brighton - well done Elissa.
More updates as they happen
