Bewdley community venue secures funding for energy-efficient heating upgrade
“This investment will help ensure that St George's Hall remains a welcoming, accessible and sustainable community asset for many years to come”
St George's Hall, Bewdley, is delighted to announce that it has secured grant funding from FCC Communities Foundation through the Landfill Communities Fund, supported by Severn Waste Services, to replace the Hall's ageing central heating boiler system.
The grant will enable the installation of a modern, energy-efficient heating system, helping to ensure that St George's Hall remains a warm, welcoming and sustainable community venue for many years to come.
As one of Bewdley's principal community facilities, St George's Hall supports a wide range of activities and organisations, including community groups, cultural events, cinema screenings, live music performances, educational activities and social gatherings. The Hall and Community Café together welcome approximately 80,000 visits each year.
Chair of Trustees, Jenny Robbins, said: "This funding is wonderful news for St George's Hall and for the wider community that we serve. Replacing our ageing boiler has been a significant priority for the Trustees, and we are extremely grateful to FCC Communities Foundation and Severn Waste Services for their support. This investment will help ensure that St George's Hall remains a welcoming, accessible and sustainable community asset for many years to come."
The project forms part of the Hall's wider programme of investment in its facilities, which includes energy-efficiency improvements and ongoing efforts to strengthen the long-term sustainability of this historic community venue.
St George's Hall would like to express its sincere thanks to FCC Communities Foundation and Severn Waste Services for their generous support of this important project.
