Progress Network were awarded a £25,000 grant from the Asda Foundation to transform unloved land into a vibrant community space – so my colleagues and I were delighted to be invited to their open day to see all the great work they have done there.
I went along with Kim and our store manager Steven and we were blown away with the transformation and community vibe. It's now called The Green Arena and it's a safe community space for young people to come together, socialise and learn new skills.
With cooking facilities and a talent stage, the space can be used for so many different things. It was so lovely meeting local groups who had helped or were just there for support the event.
