Our current and biggest challenge is the lack of funds to complete our building project. The funds received from the UK government Youth Investment Fund (YIF) is not enough to complete the building works.
We have a completion deadline to meet by 31ˢᵗ March 2025 in order to fulfil the contract with the funder YIF. This challenge has placed our project at risk. Which may prevent us from re-opening the centre.
To continue serving our community and re-open our building by March 2025 we need to raise funds for the following:
- To complete the work in the basement area to deliver our Youth and sports activities, including a community gym and sports academy.
- To construct a dormer for access to the fire escape stairs.
- To build the meeting room extension on the ground floor.
- Installation of new energy efficient windows to whole building.
- New flooring throughout the building.
- Fully equipped classrooms with furniture and smart-boards.
- To improve the condition of the building externally by repointing and cleaning the brick work and installing new gutters.
