A Coventry community centre that served as a hostel during the Second World War has received a £50,000 grant, allowing it to undergo a number of significant refurbishments.
Following the cash boost, bosses at the Cheylesmore Community Centre will be able to redevelop space in its main hall. A new roof will also be fitted, along with lighting features and electrics.
The grant was provided by the Biffa Award, a fund that gives money to environmental and community projects all over the UK.
According to the Coventry Telegraph, Paul Jamieson, who works as the centre’s manager, said a programme has been implemented with the aim of bringing a number of improvements to the facility, allowing it to better serve the needs of people in the area.
He added that once the refurbishment work is complete, the hall is expected to be more energy efficient and more comfortable for its users.
Community centres normally turn to professional printing services when updating residents on the amenities available, with one of the more popular services for doing so being poster printing.
Coventry residents use the main hall for sports and dance groups, bands, private functions and adult education classes.
The Biffa Award scheme’s manager, Gillian French, said the programme looks to invest in projects like Cheylesmore Community Centre as they are important for the local communities they serve. She added that the refurbishments being made at the Coventry community centre will improve the venue’s facilities for years to come.
