The building improvements

The existing 1970s ancillary buildings were long overdue for some attention. As well as needing remedial work to fix problems (such as leaks to the roof!), all our facilities needed to be refreshed and brought up to date.

So our plans included:

  • upgraded kitchen and toilets
  • refurbished internal spaces
  • enhanced entrance/gathering space, for anyone to come and meet friends
  • repaired roofs
  • double-glazed windows and doors, and insulated walls

Importantly, the buildings will be more comfortable, appealing and welcoming. We want this to be a building that says ‘Welcome’, ‘We are open’, ‘Come on in’ to the whole community.

At the time of writing (February 2025), the main work has largely been completed (we have some supplier-related delays to some doors and windows), and the improvements are striking. We are looking forward to bringing most of the new facilities into use within the next few weeks.
