The future of the WHALE Arts site |
1. Community Asset Transfer
WHALE Arts is a local charity that works to make Wester Hailes a creative, thriving, resilient, fair community. WHALE is a community-led organisation and development trust with around 50 members, and 10 trustees the majority of whom are local residents.
Although WHALE owns its building, it currently leases the land that the building sits on from the council. The lease ends in a few years' time, and it's time to make a decision: renew it, or take ownership of the site on behalf of the community. As well as the WHALE site on Westburn Grove, which includes the existing community garden, another possibility is to apply for a Community Asset Transfer extending to the kickabout next door and/or part of the surrounding area of woodland. If this goes ahead, WHALE would own, look after manage and develop these assets on behalf of the community of Wester Hailes, in line with its objectives as a charity.
