WiNSpace Construction News
We are only 5 weeks away from Completion
It’s amazing to think that after 12 years of hoping, planning, fund raising and choosing the colour of the toilet doors etc, Winscombe is about to get a new community building for the Parish. The Construction company and their sub-contractors are currently busily hanging doors, painting walls and fitting room heating systems. All that will be left to do next month is to commission everything and give it a really good clean . We can’t wait to get the keys and show the community what they have achieved. Our thanks go to everyone who has helped us to get here in any way, shape or form. Are we excited, absolutely we are.

Thanks for coming to and supporting our Jumble Sale where with your help we raised nearly £700.
WiNSpace Nearly Finished!
Although we can’t quite say, until we have obtained the final bills, we strongly believe we have met our funding target of £2,000,000 (big smiley face). This pays for the building and gets nearly everything off our ‘Wish List’. To make this final step to this amazing milestone, a grant application for £14,992.57 from the UK Government through the Rural England Prosperity Fund was successful. Getting fully funded has been achieved through the generosity of the Local Community and Businesses, Grant Providers and Parish Council and North Somerset Council– we have been so lucky.
Coming very soon – A new Community Building
Thank you for attending our fund raising events in 2024.
