New premises for PCF in 2006

In the summer of 2005 PCF leased Unit 2, Victoria Wharf, Grove Street, refurbishing the premises back in to use as a facility for its own offices, and as available office space for use by other local community groups or businesses.

Together with two adjacent warehouse spaces, one of which has been converted in to an operational space for a new PCF venture - Pepys Community Recycling - funded by CRED ( Community Recycling and Economic Development ), as a Social Enterprise. Additional funding from the Esmee Fairnburn foundation has enabled expansion of the project as a sustainable business.

The remaining warehouse space will be occupied for business development.
