Transparency is vital to building trust in any community project. We want to keep our neighbors informed about the technical steps we are taking behind the scenes. Currently, we are in the process of registering TrailStart as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, which will provide the legal foundation we need to operate.

Securing the Building

The asset transfer of the Joseph Gibbons Centre is a significant undertaking. This process involves detailed surveys, legal agreements, and long-term financial planning to ensure that when we do open, we stay open. We are working closely with local authorities to ensure every requirement is met with the highest standards.

Funding the Transformation

Refurbishing a building of this size requires substantial investment. We are actively exploring various grants, local sponsorships, and fundraising opportunities to cover the costs of repairs and equipment. We will continue to share updates here as major milestones are reached, and we thank you for your continued support and interest.
