Halton Mill is a not-for-profit low-carbon mixed use community resource which includes individual and co-working workspaces, artists’ and yoga studios as well as a social enterprise café. The grant award will contribute towards the refurbishment of the existing lift shaft, which forms a crucial part of the project to install a lift and widen the accessibility of the mill to more people with disabilities.

Fiona Frank, director and operations manager of Green Elephant Cooperative which runs Halton Mill, said: “The renovation will be a key milestone in our continued eco-renovation of Halton Mill.”
