Broad Aims/ Vision as agreed at the 12 Jan public meeting
Portland Works should have
1. Affordable small scale workshops and business space for creative and manufacturing activities.
2. A broad range of businesses and individuals maintained (metalwork, furniture, art, music, light industry and crafts). People who make things! Continuing the rich existing community. Encouragement for start-up businesses.
3. A public profile: regular open days and/or a dedicated part of the building to demonstrate its heritage. Galvanise festival is a possible model. Also provision for school visits.
4. An education/ training facility established. Possibly aimed at high skill, specialist training rather than ‘start of the ladder’. Links with Sheffield College and Freeman College. Apprenticeships with the different crafts onsite.
