Some months ago Yellow Ribbon put together a bid, working with Jenny Joy and the Halfway House on the Wrekin CIC.  As a 10 year old charity we were in a good position to put in a capital bid to purchase Halfway House outright.

Yellow Ribbon then made an approach to buy Halfway House. The owner was delighted to be able to sell his property in June this year knowing that it would be put to good use in the community including re-opening the cafe this summer.   Indeed Government funding has been secured with the aim of restoring Halfway House to a ‘community asset’ that would help unlock potential and strengthen communities across Telford.

Social investors have stood by us so that in making a sound offer, we can also make the necessary infrastructure improvements required.
