Priory Community Support Centre (PCSC)
(Updated - 18 February 2008)
The project concerns the creation of a purpose built multi-use centre designed to meet the needs of the Community and Voluntary sector in the 21st Century. The existing Bodmin Town Football Club Grandstand will be demolished to provide the Community Building (PCSC); a new building providing accommodation for the Football Club, together with a new area of public open space incorporating a covered seating area which on match days will provide the Grandstand for the football club and at other times will be available for general public use.

The multi-functional facility located in Bodmin will be a resource for the voluntary and community sector in North Cornwall and, as appropriate, the wider areas of East Cornwall. Additionally there will be public sector involvement through the delivery of further education services including vocational, business training and workforce development, together with the inclusion of a police community access point.
The facility will be highly adaptable but will allow for the separation of agencies which need to operate with privacy and confidentiality.
There will be facilities for smaller agencies, for “hot-desking”, private interview rooms, training rooms, a publication and printing unit along with common facilities such as reception, kitchen and a general resource centre. All of which has full access for the less abled.
Shopmobility, a scheme whereby people with limited mobility are able to hire mobility aids such as powered scooters to access the town and its services, will also be incorporated in the building.
Bodmin Town Council (BTC) will relocate to the new building enabling it to work ever closer with and build on the partnerships already well established with such as the North Cornwall CAB, East Cornwall Council for Voluntary Service (ECCVS) and the North Cornwall Volunteer Centre.
The project partners include BTC, NCDC, ECCVS and Bodmin & Surrounding Area Forum (BASA).
