Project Overview

The project involves painting the entire venue in a neutral palette to attract external users and generate much-needed income, especially after council funding is set to cease next year. Other improvements include creating an accessible laptop bench to replace the current upstairs tables, upgrading old lighting to energy-efficient LEDs, and installing minimalist cupboards for better storage.

These updates will enable the venue to host a more diverse range of users and community groups, with new spaces designed for meetings or quiet, relaxing zones. This will make the venue more appealing for external hires, providing local groups with a valuable community hub while ensuring financial sustainability.
