The Story of BIG 2010-Present: An Ongoing Journey
Will Golding, one of BIG’s founders, tells of Bridgend Inspiring Growth’s long, determined and unique journey of bringing the Bridgend Farmhouse into community ownership.
This story is a constant work in progress. The journey has been a big one with so many incredible people involved. This telling has not mentioned the names of those people, as that would be a book in itself. This project is what it is because of the unique contribution from every individual who’s been involved; every member, volunteer, trustee, supporter, staff member, partner organisation, funder, neighbour, elected representative, and so many more.
We are bound to miss out details here, so we welcome additions to this text. Also, this is only the first chapter really in the story of Bridgend Farmhouse as community owned land and a community run hub. It's a long read, but hopefully will be helpful for people wanting to really get a sense of what our journey was towards community asset transfer for.
We also welcome comments, editions, ideas or stories. Please contact; admin@bridgendfarmhouse.org.uk with title 'Story of BIG'.
