Work to revamp a play area in Ravenshead is now complete after almost £35,000 in funding was found to pay for improvements.
Ravenshead Parish Council & Leisure Centre revealed at the beginning of April that work had started on a new multi-play apparatus at Ravenshead Leisure Centre.
In a statement, they said: “It’s great to see our vision for this vital community facility moving closer to reality. We are extremely grateful for the funding FCC Communities Foundation has given us and we’re looking forward to opening to the public.”
The project was funded by a £34,983.64 grant from FCC Communities Foundation, which is a not-for-profit business that awards grants for community projects through the Landfill Communities Fund.
Ravenshead Leisure Centre was initially established for the benefit of the community in the 1980s. Since then, it has been owned and managed by Ravenshead Parish Council.
During the past 40 years, they have grown and improved the facilities that now boast three tennis courts, five football pitches, an all-weather football pitch, petanque courts and two separate sports halls.
Ravenshead Leisure Centre has meeting rooms available for hire at very competitive rates. There is free WI-FI, whiteboards and tea/coffee-making facilities along with a choice of rooms to suit all needs.
