Your views are sought in relation to the proposals prior to the submission of the application to the council, where there will be further opportunities to comment.

The Ninesquare Trust

The Ninesquare Trust is a grant-making charity founded in 2005. Their funds are used for charitable purposes, with a particular focus on (i) the alleviation of poverty, (ii) the advancement of education, and (iii) providing a benefit to the people of Street and its surrounding area. The Ninesquare Trust has paid out over  £400,000 for charitable purposes, and this has been almost entirely spent within Street and the surrounding area. Some of the more recent activities include:

• Mentoring schemes - Long term support for Raising Aspirations and Promise Works.

• Education - Long term funding for Somerset Wildlife Trust’s work with Primary Schools.
• Environmental

• Combe Hill Wood.
• Long term funding to maintain open access to a mixed wood on the Poldens.
• Funding for the creation and maintenance of the Polden Way.

Receipts from the development of the site will add greatly to the capacity of the Trust to support charitable projects over the longer term.
