Three new benches have been donated to The Newstead Centre by Jigsaw Homes working with Jewsons Partnership Solutions.

Gedling Eye spoke with Sandra Johnson, Centre manager at The Newstead Centre about the donation who said: “It came about from a discussion with Jigsaw Homes, showing them around the Newstead Centre one day we were able to discuss areas of support they would look into to see if they could help support us as we are a Charity.

“One of those areas was the Courtyard area outside our Courtyard cafe on-site that had very old and falling apart outside furniture.

“As a result Jigsaw Homes very kindly working with Jewsons Partnership Solutions donated the Newstead Centre some brand new picnic table and benches to transform the Courtyard area to make it a more welcoming area for visitors and the community to the Newstead Centre.”

Sandra added “We are so grateful for all their support and help for the Newstead Centre as it helps us offer better services to be able to support the community and visitors to the Centre.”

The centre offerings include a community food pantry, arts and crafts workshops, benefits sessions, a cafe (5-star hygiene rating, breast friendly accredited & dog friendly) and excellent facilities for anyone looking for a decent sized hall for an event.

The centre that sits at the heart of the Newstead Village community can be found at Tilford Road Newstead Village Nottinghamshire NG15 0BS and is also located only three minutes from the main Midland mainline train network with excellent transport links between Nottingham & Mansfield.
