We need £6,000 for a fit-for-purpose hall ceiling at Community House, Eton Road.
The 70-year-old hall hosts regular and one-off community activities across generations, faiths, cultures,7 days a week, “building stronger, caring community together.”
There is no other community hall in the area, so no-where else for people to meet and/or play sports … but ...
• The ancient, high ceiling is damaged and loses heat.
• The fabric advised for a new purpose-built ceiling will greatly improve acoustics AND be resilient for sports to take place.
• We have been given a one-off, special charity-rate, environmentally-friendly quotation to replace the ceiling.
• The local Maindee community has been disproportionately affected by the pandemic - many losing loved ones. Coming into a bright, refurbished hall will lift the spirits of all who enter – for many Community House is their second home - a haven against loneliness.
Community House has lost its main source of income (room hire) over the past 12 months, so cannot undertake this vital refurbishment without help. We have won enough for the deposit from our peers in a competitive funding bid, so the work has started!
Please give what you can now to turn our old community hall into a multi-purpose hall fit for activities for all ages! You can …
