Property in Alma Place to be restored into shop units and accommodation for those at risk of homelessness

Alma Place is a small conservation area in Redruth, Cornwall, and is named after a battle in the mid-19th-century Crimean War. This project aims to conserve and adapt a property dating from the same period into a large commercial shop space with six accommodation units for those at risk of homelessness located on the upper floors.

Mustard Seed Property has worked since 2007 to provide a home for over forty vulnerable adults with learning disabilities, or at risk from homelessness, purchasing homes in which vulnerable tenants can be supported into stable lifestyles and leasing properties to local organisations skilled in providing the support tenants need.

The organisation was awarded £50,000 through the Transforming Places through Heritage Community Shares Booster Programme to match its community share offer. This funding is designed to support Community Benefit Societies and Co-operatives boost the amount of investment they raise from their supporters and assist in the growth of the community shares sector as a whole. Following this funding, the organisation has already raised over £278,000 of its £600,000 target.
