Relationship between GP CIC and WBGP
The relationship between Garon Park CIC and Wellbeing at Garon Park is distinct but closely connected. Here’s a breakdown:
Â
• Garon Park CIC (Community Interest Company) focuses on providing destination-quality facilities for the community. It manages the overall site and ensures that clubs, groups, and organizations have access to the space.
• Wellbeing at Garon Park is a charity that operates within Garon Park CIC’s facilities. Its mission is to enhance mental and physical health, improve biodiversity, and promote environmental sustainability.
• Licensing Agreement: Wellbeing at Garon Park has a license from Garon Park CIC to occupy and manage the Wellbeing Park, which is a community greenspace within the larger Garon Park site.
Â
While the distinction is clear in their descriptions, it could be confusing for some visitors because:
Â
• Both organizations share the same location and work toward overlapping goals.
• Wellbeing at Garon Park relies on Garon Park CIC’s infrastructure but operates independently as a charity.
• The names are similar, which might make it unclear who manages what.
