Vale of Glamorgan
Coworking month will be launched with an online platform showcasing the type of spaces that people can work from, as well as offering a small grant to assist with the purchase of furniture or equipment to get spaces ready for coworking. Potential spaces include cafes or bars, churches, hotels, community centres or existing business sites with unused space. The event is part of a larger project that hopes to gather and launch diverse spaces for people to work closer to home, reducing the need for residents living in rural areas to commute. Our goal through the month is to build a new habit for people as they consider their style of working post-Covid. We want to show this through as diverse a range of spaces as possible and subject to the easing of lockdown restrictions.
Cllr. Lis Burnett, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Education and Regeneration said: “We have all experienced very different lifestyles and work-lives to anything we have known before. The future will undoubtedly be shaped by our recent and ongoing experiences but now is the time to look creatively at how our future should be. Here in the Vale of Glamorgan we are excited to work with TownSq and pioneer innovate opportunities for people to work closer to home.”
