The Millfields Community Economic Development Trust
Set up to enable local people to contribute and manage the regeneration of the Stonehouse neighbourhood in Plymouth.
Owned by the community and managed by a professional staff under the direction of a Board of Directors. The Board consist of members representing the local community, City Council and tenants.
Core business is rental of commercial premises.
The trust provides a platform to enable small and medium sized business to grow and develop.
Widening Horizons is an innovative project developed by the Trust in conjunction with the six local primary schools located in Stonehouse. It enables students to explore new and challenging learning experiences through visits to a number of different venues spread across the city and further afield. The aim is to raise levels of aspirations and subsequently the levels of attainment in students taking part and thus open doors to possible career areas that were not previously considered.
