Trust ABL is a
community-based regeneration organisation. Its
mission is to develop enterprise and training
initiatives in partnership with public and private
sectors with the aim of enhancing the economic and
social prospects of the communities of Manningham
and Girlington in Bradford where the majority of
the population is from ethnic minority
groups. ABL manages
Carlisle Business Centre (CBC) which has 89
business units with conference and training
facilities. It provides on-site business support
services to its tenants and helps community groups
to hold conferences, training seminars and social
functions at CBC. Benefits
expected ABL's income
generation is dependant on a management contract
with the Local Authority, who own the property, for
managing Carlisle Business Centre. As a long term
strategy ABL needs to become self-sufficient and an
independant organisation by owning CBC as an asset.
ABL will seek support of the DTA to acquire the
transfer of the asset from the Local
Authority. Benefits
received Being a member,
ABL has become part of a large network who have
similar aims and objectives giving opportunity to
exchange good practices. DTA has
supported ABL in training and developing its action
plan (1997-99). |
