Second grant joy for Field Lane group
It will help promote plans to refurbish the old Field Lane Community Centre and turn it into a modern community hub with a cafe and activities for people of all ages.
The grant will enable the young people to organise and serve a Christmas afternoon tea for elderly and infirm residents, to organise Pop Up Cuppa sessions by the shops to tell people about the project and sign up volunteers and to assist in organising a launch event when refurbishment is complete.
