“Loundsley Green Community Trust is a great example of volunteers coming together to provide invaluable services for all members of the local community and we are delighted to support their work in this way.”

Lisa said “Most of this money will be used to renovate the floor in the main hall. There have been many improvements made to the centre over the last 18 months but toddlers like ours need a fresh clean floor to play on so this grant is really welcome. The kids will really appreciate it.”

Loundsley Green Community Trust took over the Centre in June 2011. Since then they have raised money from many sources to refurbish and modernise the building and make it suitable for the many community groups that now meet there and the projects which the Trust specifically supports.
