There is no blueprint for the One Stop Shop.  Essentially, its role is to create a welcoming place, which will provide a number of community facilities under one roof.  The specific make-up of the One Stop Shop will be achieved through partnership with statutory and voluntary bodies and following a community consultation to identify local need and gaps in services and facilities. The ethos of the work is to create a facility, which will be self-supporting by ensuring long term funding and developing the skills of those who will manage it.  In this way it will be responsive to change. A key element of the project is to promote information technology. Loganlea Miner’s Welfare was selected in 2000 to become part of the project. It's been a long hard process but the facility was up and running in the Autumn of 2004.
