from the local community meeting together regularly throughout the year. **during the year** Also, this year we have fully refurbished our community centre which has served our area for nearly 200 years. As well as our own fund raising, the project was generously supported by several grant funding bodies. 

Well used by all age groups and abilities, the building itself had become tired and worn and was becoming unsafe and in need of a major upgrade to make it suitable and adaptable for the needs of all its users for the next 200 years!  The work included rewiring and new lighting; new zoned heating and insulation; improved access and facilities for disabled users; a new kitchen; creating a new office and meeting room, and installing room dividing sliding door panels to increase flexibility. 

Carried out by local firms, the project has significantly improved accessibility and insulation, making the centre brighter, flexible, more thermally efficient and welcoming.
