Feasibility studies
are about looking at whether the community resources
that are often required have effective demand and
can be fully utilised for the benefit of the community.
We believe that there is a great need for community
resources that are consistent with the analogy of
village halls that provide a voice for communities
that are socially excluded. |
| • Market
demand: - to assess the potential and actual demand
for main, supplementary and ancillary activities
in the proposed centre and determine how to make
the facility financially viable. |
• Site and
building appraisal: establish the adequacy of proposals
for the uses of the centre and modification to accommodate
all the proposed uses, investigate the
pre-planning and planning issues and advise on the
feasibility of the location of the centre |
• Organisation
and management structure: to examine models for
the management of the centre to confirm the involvement
of community organisations to be involved
in management |
| • Financial
appraisal: determine capital cost of the centre,
work out the operating cost of the facility and
provide an indication of the most appropriate way
for financing the development and funding for the
maintenance and scenarios of income generation. |
