Help Redecorate Our Library

Organised by The Old Library

The trustees' plan was to redecorate the library ourselves, however due to concerns around H&S and working at height we've been advised to use a contractor. They'll be quicker too! Please can you help us raise the funds to start this work?

We work to retain an important local building by generating income from it. The income will be used to develop it into a welcoming space that will support learning and encourage neighborhood cohesion. Our aims include providing a free library and a cafe with a flexible service to the community.

Story

We are almost at the end of a long journey to save our beautiful library from closure. We are now refurbishing the interior of the building to ensure it is a warm, welcoming space for everyone to enjoy. We envisaged spending our weekends simply stripping the wallpaper off the walls and painting. However, having had an expert look at it, it's not that easy, and we simply aren't skilled enough to take on this job ourselves, due to time constraints, lack of skill, knowledge and equipment. Obviously the H&S also has to be taken into account! It will cost £1800 to get the whole interior stripped, repaired, lined and painted. Please do support if you can, every little helps. The sooner we get all the interior prepared, the sooner we can have our library back, borrowing and reading books, serving lovely hot drinks and homemade cakes, and having a new community space for everyone.

Thanks

Helen
