Last Sunday (27th January) saw former trustees of Kingsley Youth and Community Centre , Ivor Lucas and Ann Evans presenting the hall with a cheque from the Kingsley Fund for £1000.

The monies which are managed by the Community Foundation of Staffordshire came from the sale of the land and building on Holt Lane.

The money has been earmarked to replace the rear fire exit at the hall with modern uPVC glazed doors which will enable east access from the car park as well as making the appearance of the hall more attractive than at present.

Chair of the hall committee Martyn Hordern stated that it is hoped to see work started very soon and added ‘we are grateful to the Community Foundation and of course to Ann and Ivor for their support, this money will make a big difference’
