Renovation of community centre (Dads Lane Community Association)

It's an amazing community space that needs a new face!
The centre is a three-storey house and large garden given to the community over 50 years ago. It provides a brilliant space for people from all different backgrounds to meet together. There are a variety of rooms available (one main large room, kitchen area and about seven other rooms) all in need of renovation. We currently run a drop-in on Wednesdays before COVID-19 happened and were about to start community meals. We have lots of ideas but need help to make the spaces fit for purpose.

Woaaah we're half way there 🎵

Monday 22nd July

Written by Miriam

We were at Dads Lane this evening for a big brick move. Steve got on a great playlist which included Livin On A Prayer...the lyrics We're Half Way There felt apt as it felt like we were half way there for ageees. Eventually however we managed to move three big piles of bricks! Rachel was a machine moving bricks and also getting involved organising them with Liam. Sofeen was a welcome late edition getting stuck in too with loads of moving.

Kate from Ampersand projects needed the space for her forest school activity over summer and despite running a full day of sessions tomorrow also got stuck in with the brick move.

A very successful start to the week! Thanks everyone!
