Refurbishment works begin at Angel Community Centre

Refurbishment works at Angel Community Centre begin on Monday 19 October, marking an exciting milestone in plans to improve the centre for the local community.

Ahead of the works, local residents recently came together for a fabric collage workshop, creating designs that will help inspire the final curtain design for the newly refurbished hall. The workshop was followed by a popular family film screening, bringing families together to enjoy the centre as a space for creative and community activities.

The refurbishment will improve around 630 square metres of existing community space. A vacant 109 square metre former caretaker’s flat will also be converted into community office accommodation that can be hired.

Improvements include:

• a new entrance canopy
• improvements to windows to bring more natural light into the new workspace
• solar shading to improve overheating
• upgraded facilities in the main hall, supporting activities such as community film screenings
• improved storage.

The works will be phased to minimise disruption to existing uses of the centre during construction.

Construction will generally take place during the following hours:

• Monday to Friday: 8am to 6pm
• Saturday: 8am to 1pm

These improvements will provide better facilities for people who already use Angel Community Centre as well as creating more opportunities for the wider community to use and enjoy the space.
