We will renovate the property and reinstate it as an operational hotel with 20 rooms, café and restaurant, meeting and function rooms and start up office spaces. There will be 8 ensuite rooms with a shared kitchen accommodating homeless or at risk of homelessness young people who are paid apprentices. In total the social enterprise will create 10 new jobs, 12 apprenticeships and 10 traineeships. The project will be key in the regeneration of this area of Taunton, and in specific the Railway Station site, and in doing so will ensure that not only are jobs and apprenticeship opportunities created but they are sustained in the long term.
