We obtain information about you when you use our website, for
example, when you contact us about products and services, to make an
online purchase or if you register to receive one of our newsletters.
What type of information is collected from you?
The personal information we collect might include your name, address,
email address, IP address, and information regarding what pages are
accessed and when. If you make a donation online or purchase a product
from us, your card information is not held by us, it is collected by our
third party payment processors, who specialise in the secure online
capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions, as explained
below.
How is your information used?
We may use your information to:
to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into by you and us;
dealing with entries into a competition;
seek your views or comments on the services we provide;
notify you of changes to our services;
send you communications which you have requested and that may be of
interest to you. These may include information about our goods and
services;
process a job application.
We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular
basis. We are legally required to hold some types of information to
fulfil our statutory obligations. We will hold your personal information
on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity,
or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us.
Who has access to your information?
We will not sell or rent your information to third parties.
We will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf: We may pass your
information to our third party service providers, agents subcontractors
and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks
and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to process
donations and send you mailings). However, when we use third party
service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is
necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that
requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for
their own direct marketing purposes. Please be reassured that we will
not release your information to third parties for them to use for their
own direct marketing purposes, unless you have requested us to do so, or
we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for
the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.
The relevant third party product provider will use your details to
provide you with information and carry out their obligations arising
from any contracts you have entered into with them. In some cases, they
will be acting as a data controller of your information and therefore we
advise you to read their Privacy Policy. These third party product
providers will share your information with us which we will use in
accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We may transfer your personal information to a third party as part of
a sale of some or all of our business and assets to any third party or
as part of any business restructuring or reorganisation, or if we’re
under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply
with any legal obligation or to enforce or apply our terms of use or to
protect the rights, property or safety of our customers. However, we
will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights
continue to be protected.

information from us. If you do not want to receive direct marketing
communications from us then you can select your choices by ticking the
relevant boxes situated on the form on which we collect your

text message unless you have given your prior consent. We will not
contact you for marketing purposes by post if you have indicated that
you do not wish to be contacted. You can change your marketing
preferences at any time by contacting us by email:
How you can access and update your information
The accuracy of your information is important to us. We’re working on
ways to make it easier for you to review and correct the information
that we hold about you. In the meantime, if you change email address, or
any of the other information we hold is inaccurate or out of date,
please email us at:
You have the right to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you.
Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information
When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that
it’s treated securely. Any sensitive information (such as credit or
debit card details) is encrypted and protected with the following
software 128 Bit encryption on SSL. When you are on a secure page, a
lock icon will appear in the address bar of most web browsers or on the
bottom of web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are transmitted
normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100%
secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal
information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you
transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your
information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our
systems. Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which
enables you to access certain parts of our websites, you are
responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to
share your password with anyone.

relevant to you. We may make use of additional information about you
when it is available from external sources to help us do this
effectively. We may also use your personal information to detect and
reduce fraud and credit risk.

The Phoenix Village Project
Teaching enterprising skills and building sound minds for practical, social and personal regeneration
About
Introduction to the Project
The vision for Phoenix Village is to create a one-stop, full-service provision for young adults who have missed opportunities, fallen through the traditional educational gaps, ended up jobless and in the wrong crowd or struggled with addiction and homelessness. By providing affordable accommodation, multiple opportunities for skills training with accreditation, autonomous health, and advanced mental health provision, The Phoenix Village Project aims to break a cycle of social and economic exclusion and its long-term consequences.
Recognising that current social and education systems are failing an increasing number of disadvantaged young adults, Marksteen took on the biggest challenge of his career and created the vision for a state-of-the-art, self-sustaining hub that will marry innovative businesses with local service providers in a collaborative collective to inspire, engage, teach and mentor disenfranchised young adults.
When realised, The Phoenix Village Project will be a dynamic hub of innovation, a creative collision between like-minded, socially conscious businesses and social services. The project will provide young people with the space, resources and inspiration for professional, creative and personal development. Work placements and taster apprenticeships will be part of the project, including pioneering thinking in the fields of craft, design and production. Guided by professionals, young people will have the opportunity to learn skills vital to our future circular economies. For example, upcycling plastics, wood, textiles and metal into desirable, marketable products. Plans include housing a music and film recording studio, a café, an artisan bakery, as well as rooftop horticulture.
The project will also provide affordable accommodation under the same roof – breaking away from a stark abyss into entirely new territory – surrounding young people with an immediate community in a thriving, inspiring and nurturing environment.
The operating structure will be powered by a new economic model – The Giving Share. This model is based on the idea of creating an attractive and creatively curated home for commercial businesses that pay a contribution to the project to provide a sustainable economic model for social services to operate. Similar economic programmes have existed in parts of Europe and Scandinavia for decades. However, adding in the idea of incorporating the businesses themselves as part of the social services package will take this Gloucestershire model to a completely new level.
What's next?
In 2019, the Phoenix Village concept was presented to all local councils, housing associations and the police constabulary in Gloucestershire. It was received with overwhelming support and enthusiasm. The new model provides real hope for changing lives and breaks away from the traditional dependency on government and charitable donations. The project is now ready to find the perfect home, which will be an entirely new build or the refurbishment of an existing building. The building will be put into a trust fund by the donors, and then The Giving Share and The Programme will be operated by The Phoenix Village Project team. We're actively looking for 80-100k sq. ft. of space in the heart of the urban community.
Since the project's conception, Marksteen Adamson, founder and CEO, has been building a team and developing a network of key delivery partners and supporters who believe in the project and want to be part of it.
If you feel the same about this vision and you would like to get involved or support the project, you can contact us@thephoenixvillageproject.org We would love to hear from you.
To build a new and desirable destination/home/quarter in the heart of the community. To create a thriving, lively, like-minded and enterprising collective of purposefully selected and carefully curated independent businesses. Teaching enterprising skills and building sound minds for practical, social and personal regeneration.
THE MISSION
To create a state-of-the-art community hub with carefully curated independent professional businesses that teach, train and mentor disenfranchised young adults, providing work opportunities and qualifications, as well as support and solutions for mental well-being and nutritional health.
The Phoenix Village Project is powered by The Giving Share – a Community Interest Company (CIC) focused on delivering the Phoenix Village Project and its services. This is a sustainable, economic, social model for funding community projects within the building where business partners participating in the project will contribute to the project’s local youth community work.
These businesses are key to the social community programme they will be involved in but equally the project offers them a mutually beneficial opportunity for their business. The Giving Share asks of them a time-based and financial contribution, the calculation is based on their profit and earnings, with a base contribution, but not exceeding average market rent and rates.
Rather than pay rent per square foot for the space they need, The Giving Share will allocate space to businesses per their need, for example, a bakery needs more space than a tech-start-up. Each business irrespective of size or sector will benefit from a rent-free environment, instead, paying a reduced sum into The Giving Share social fund. This will be supported by the local government who will make the space free to start with. This approach to giving a share rather than having to pay rent for square footage will enable the curation of a healthy, balanced mix of businesses in one location, sharing innovation and benefiting from each other, as well as being a hub for the benefit to the youth community.
The Giving Share fund the businesses pay into will provide workshops, training, education, food, equipment and mental health services for young adults locally, aged 16-21 who are disadvantaged, disenfranchised, in care, in recovery, might be ex-youth offenders or simply those who have fallen through the cracks of the education system. Each business will take in a young adult at regular intervals of 1-2 weeks, on a trial basis, giving them a variety of work experiences and opportunities with the possibility for future employment, within the project or further afield.
This model will help build and support thriving community activities and provide skills-based training for young people locally by building an innovative business ecosystem that delivers a holistic, creative, community hub with opportunity stemming from all forms of industry. Here, young people will be given the opportunity to learn and discover who they are, who they want to be and a develop a clear vision of their own future so they can ultimately put back into society rather than be a drain on it.
The philosophical objective is to ‘Make Honey’, as well and making money, with a strong emphasis on thriving, not just growing big at the cost of the project’s community objectives.
