“Better Living is a non-profit, community conscious project. We strive to maintain affordability and accessibility for the community we serve.”
What does Community Conscious mean to us?
Better Living is a not for profit organisation that provides a community space. We are not a company but a committee of individuals who have conceived the project with the wish to make the space available to everyone around us - for the purpose of improving the quality of life of the individual and consequently, the community.
The first stage is where we are now - hiring the space to professional instructors and
event organisers for very reasonable rates. Our ethos includes our hirers who all receive
free opening sessions and promotional support to help them and their events take off and thrive. Already the community is being brought together through shared interests, via the events at the studio.
Ultimately we aim to have the studio running at a minimum of 80% capacity most of the year round. This will enable the financial flexibility we need to implement our second stage.
Our local area and city is typical of a richly diverse and complex community. Like any other there are people living around us who, for a variety of reasons are excluded or exist on the margins of their communities, temporarily or permanently.
It is our aim to provide the space free of charge to local organisations and
individuals that can make a positive difference to the lives of the disabled, elderly, homeless, poor, those in recovery, and the many other groups within our community who could not normally access these services easily and inexpensively.
We will soon be approaching and consulting with local charities, health and fitness professionals, community groups and other interested parties, to help us provide a safe and functional environment at Better Living for more specialised, tailored and inclusive community events to be held here.
Everyone that walks through our door is doing so because they want to improve something about themselves - some people feel they can never walk through the door.
This is what we hope to change.
Support Better Living to support your community.
Hire the space, come to the classes and events, help us reach 80% capacity and we can all affect a change – a change for a better place to live.
