‘theSpaceDunbar sets course for Dunbear Park’
thespaceScotland CIC is currently in active discussions with Hallhill Developments Ltd on a shared ambition to create thespaceDunbar at Dunbear Park. With their ongoing positive support we aim to secure an exclusivity agreement on a serviced site as part of Phase 2 of the Dunbear Park Development. This will provide us with an agreed timescale to secure the necessary capital finance and planning permission.

We want to create a groundbreaking youth powered social enterprise that has facilities and opportunities for the whole community. We can’t wait to work alongside young people, investing in and nurturing the power and potential of youth in our communities to make this ambitious plan happen”. Adrian Girling, thespaceScotland CIC
