Millmead Hall Project
Work started in early March with the
removal of asbestos. Up until now the hut refurbishment has been
put off because the money available is not enough to carry out all
the necessary work. We are now confident that, with the help of the
community, we can get the building back into a safe, secure and
usable community facility.
Can you help out?
We need residents or local
companies to volunteer to help us. Calling
all:
What we need:
- Donations of materials or skilled help
- Fundraising
- Hands on help from residents
What we’ve already got:
- Kitchen donated and fitted by Lakehouse
- Toilets, basins and labour from Mears
- Heating system donated by Swale Heating
- Free labour from Lednor
- Free TV and internet installation from Clear Picture
Maintenance team of
surveyors are picking up the tools of their original trades to help
out.
We also need residents to
share their ideas on how to improve the hut, help us make design
choices and brainstorm ideas about what the Scout Hut might be used
for once it’s completed.
Media interest in this
community project has resulted in local companies coming forward to
donate free materials and labour to help us.
