Behind the scenes, our team is tirelessly working to generate funds and obtain grants to turn our building into an active community hub in the centre of Winshill. We are thrilled to create new opportunities for our Scout Group and the local community with this major project, representing the most significant building project in over a decade.
What’s Planned:
- Step-Free Access – Ensuring everyone can easily use the building regardless of mobility.
- Upgraded Fire Doors – Improving safety and peace of mind for all users.
- Modern Downstairs Toilets – Adding convenience for visitors and community groups.
- A New Upstairs Meeting Room – Creating more space for events and activities.
- Enhanced Kitchen Facilities – Perfect for community gatherings and celebrations.
- New Cloakroom – Adding functionality and comfort.
- Restored Original Parquet Flooring – Preserving the building’s character while maintaining its appearance.
- Additional Ground Floor Storage – Supporting the needs of all users.
- Cosmetic Improvements – Giving the building a fresh, welcoming feel throughout.
Why This Matters to Our Community:
This project is expected to cost more than £60,000 and is a significant investment in Winshill’s future. We’ve raised £40,000 since April 2024, which allows us to begin the essential tasks. When finished, the renovated structure will be a priceless tool for everyone, offering:
- A central space for community groups to meet and grow.
- Opportunities for new activities like fitness classes, clubs, and educational workshops.
- A venue for special occasions, including children’s birthday parties and family celebrations.
- A safe, accessible, and welcoming environment for all ages and abilities.
How You Can Help Us
We have a great idea for a thriving community hub in Winshill, but we need your help to make it a reality. We’re working hard to raise the remaining money to finish this game-changing initiative, and we’ve already secured almost £40,000.
You can help us in two ways:
- Donate – Every donation, regardless of size, creates a facility that benefits everyone in our community. Your donation will directly support necessary upgrades, including updated facilities, step-free access, and more. We can accomplish this vision if we work together.
- Provide Us with Grant Possibilities – Are you aware of any funding opportunities or grant opportunities that might help our project? We would be delighted to hear from you! Your suggestions could have a significant impact if you have connections to nearby companies, trusts, or other financial sources.
Together, we can create a space where everyone in our community feels welcome, supported, and inspired.
