Phase one of our new terrace is well under way!

The eagle-eyed amongst you will have seen that we have started work on rebuilding the external patio terrace at Crafton Green House. This is to replace the old, damaged and unsafe patio that we haven't been able to use since we took on the lease for the building. 

The old patio was unsafe to use

This forms part of our bigger plan to refurbish Crafton Green House and to rejuvenate this invaluable community asset. The volunteer team at TouchPoint have now raised (and spent!) more than £100,000 in grant funding towards the TouchPoint HQ/Crafton Green House refurbishment.

The new patio will be so valuable - we can't wait to get planting!

For phase one of these works we were delighted and very grateful to receive funding support towards our costs from HM Government's Shared Prosperity Fund.

Thank you! The next phase in the plan is to create accessible terracing and pathways around the building, facilitating access for all. We are going as fast as funding will allow us, and there is still much to be done. Grant funding is never easy to come by, but we are working hard at making progress. Watch this space!
