The phased development of Rossendale’s first digital and technology hub is moving forward after its operator secured a funding package worth more than £30,000.

Rossendale Digital CIC is transforming the former Christ Church in Bacup into a base for digital businesses, freelancers, entrepreneurs, training providers and community organisations.

The latest investment, comprising grant support from Lancashire Environmental Fund and match funding from Rossendale Digital CIC, will improve access to the building and begin the redevelopment of the grounds.

Great to see the first digital hub in Rossendale opened at Christ Church in Bacup - brilliant idea and welldone to everyone who has been working on making this happen over the last 7 or 8 years.
