With thanks to the Dewsbury Press the Howlands refurbishment made the headlines as the paper reported on our £500,000 upgrade of our building on School Street in the centre of Dewsbury.

Read more about how we secured funding with the help of Good Fundraising and read what our Chairman Tom Ellis has to say here.

The grant will be spent on a major overhaul of the School Street Building that is expected to be complete early 2017. The building works are intended to fully modernise the Victorian building to a state that will be able to accommodate community groups and a variety of uses for all the community to benefit from.

“We feel that our refurbishment is a very positive statement in the regeneration of Dewsbury and we look forward to being at the hub of the resurgence of local community involvement.”
