First Point of Contact for Local People
The Trust manages the SALT shop which is a community resource centre based on Langworthy Road and provides an accessible and informal first point of contact for local people. Our staff is very friendly and approachable and most of them are local residents. Our resource centre has been instrumental in the successful implementation of the regeneration initiatives and schemes in our area as it is located at the centre of the regeneration area and heavily used by the local community. Please visit our home page for more information on the Seedley and Langworthy Trust.
The Resource Centre offers a number of services including:
- General information, advice and guidance on a number of issues.
- A point of local information.
- Meeting space (hired out to local community groups).
- An interface with local / government agencies (on average we deal with over 150 queries per month, ranging from complaints about refuse being dumped through to problems with the highways. We also liaise with colleagues in many services to resolve a wide range of problems, from housing to environmental issues).
- Specialist surgeries for local people (by the police, the landlord licensing team, the Emmanuel Church group, etc. These surgeries offer a regular drop in advice service for local residents – notice will be given in advance of such events).
- Telephone access.
- Community internet access computer.
- Photocopying and faxing service (small charges made).
- Information on meetings, projects and events going on in the area.
- Information on recycling.
- Access to the diverse staff team.
- Volunteering opportunities.
