Parity Trust and the Council for Social Responsibility within the Diocese of Portsmouth have agreed to establish a joint venture; this will be a high profile, sustainable business jointly-owned by the two main partners.

The Joint Venture Social Enterprise will deliver creative and affordable parish and community development projects and reinvest any profits in to local projects for the benefit of local people. Initially these will take place throughout Portsmouth and the surrounding areas.

We are looking to take empty, or under used community buildings such as libraries, churches and community centres and renovate them with input from residents and assistance from local professionals such as architects for the benefit of the community. An article on the Joint Venture published earlier this year in the Pompey Chimes, can be viewed here.

Our CEO has written a number of blogs which include the topics of assset development and the Joint Venture Social Enterprise, to view a recent entry, please see here for more details
