Project Overview

Wesley Hall Community Centre is dedicated to supporting individuals and families through a variety of services, including early childhood education, youth development, senior citizen programmes, and community events. The centre’s food bank provides vital support to over 115 families daily, and its soup kitchen serves those in need. The day centre offers creative classes and social opportunities for young people with additional needs, helping to foster a sense of community and inclusion.

VIY is enhancing multiple areas of the centre by renovating the garden into a well-being space with seating and a potential allotment area, encouraging sustainable food growth for use in the food bank and soup kitchen. Additionally, we’re painting the main food hall/theatre space and building secure storage for the nursery to ensure a safer, more organised environment for the children. These improvements will create a welcoming, functional, and sustainable space for all who use the centre, from the day care users to families and community groups.
