Newsong Community Church

Project Overview

The community church is dated and in need of revitalisation. The main hall, recently plastered, requires painting to complete its transformation. A refreshed and inviting look will attract new users and groups to hire the venue, ensuring the church remains a vibrant hub for the community. The main hall is the church’s “bread and butter,” and this much-needed makeover will provide a welcoming space its users deserve.

Newsong Community Church, located in the heart of Bromsgrove, is a not-for-profit charity that reinvests all revenue into improving its facilities and services. Dedicated to providing sports and community amenities, the centre hosts fitness classes, a youth centre, table tennis, and meeting events in its three meeting rooms. The refurbishment is part of a broader plan to enhance the building’s appeal and expand its reach within the community.

Bromsgrove Girl Guides

Project Overview

Bromsgrove Girl Guides is a not-for-profit organisation located in the heart of the Bromsgrove community. In addition to hosting five Girlguiding groups every weeknight, the venue is also used by external hirers offering activities such as toddler groups, mini football, and fitness classes. While Girlguiding remains the primary source of income, Bromsgrove Girl Guides is eager to attract more local groups and expand its role as a community hub.

The building, however, is in need of significant improvements. Peeling paint, damp issues, and limited storage have left the space looking dated and less functional than it could be. VIY has stepped in to provide much-needed renovations, including repainting the entire interior, treating and resolving damp problems, and carrying out various carpentry works – including creating dedicated storage solutions for different groups, boxing in electrical boxes, and installing shelving and coat hooks to make the space safer and more practical. The changes will also allow for the removal of a large cupboard, freeing up valuable space within the hall.

These upgrades will not only refresh the venue’s appearance but also make it more inviting and practical for current and future users. By improving the safety, functionality, and overall appeal of the hall, Bromsgrove Girl Guides hopes to attract more child-friendly groups and increase its bookings, strengthening its role in the community.

As a charity with limited resources, the support provided through this project will allow Bromsgrove Girl Guides to redirect their funds toward other critical improvements, such as replacing the roof and upgrading the heating system, ensuring the venue’s longevity and continued positive impact on the local community.

St John’s Hall

25 November 2024

Youth Engagement Contact: jess@teamviy.com

Project Overview

The hall was outdated and in need of a refresh, which the committee believed was affecting its ability to attract new users. VIY’s makeover made the space more inviting for both new and existing users, with a calming effect on the children who frequent the hall. The St John’s committee also plans to introduce mental health groups, and the refurbished office space will provide a private and accommodating environment for these groups. In addition to redecorating the hall, the kitchen area was reorganised to maximise space and functionality. VIY installed a new cupboard for storage and made adjustments to better utilise the kitchen area.

VIY primarily focused on redecorating the church hall, including the main hall, entrance, and an office, with colours chosen by the committee. The kitchen was also revamped for greater efficiency, including the relocation of a storage cupboard and the installation of a new kitchen cupboard.
