Following completion of the refurbishment of The Workspace Mike Swain, Chief Executive of ASAN, said:

"The refurbishment of The Workspace has only been possible through the support of a number of key partners and supporters including: ABCD (Wolverhampton's New Deal for Communities Programme), Advantage West Midlands and the Adventure Capital Fund. Through their support we have been able to create a high quality community owned and run facility which will make a long term contribution to the regeneration of All Saints and neighbouring areas. The Workspace will minimise its environmental impact through maximising use of natural light throughout the building and making use of waste wood to provide all the buildings heating needs via a state of the art Biomass boiler."

The Workspace is the latest community enterprise to be developed and managed by ASAN which also runs The Big Garage car park and Green-Office office furniture recycling business. The Workspace is located within a campus of community facilities and enterprises which includes Southside Sports - ASAN's sports development facility and the former All Saints Church which is now used to provide community activities.
