Project Summary
The Trust was aware that the changing rooms at the facilities were no longer fit for purpose. Having taken some initial funding advice, they asked ProHelp for a surveyor to carry out a condition report to kick off the project. Andy Dransfield of Richard Jackson carried out the work, the value of which if charged for would have been £900.
Impact
The project delivered:
- The report was essential before any capital project could begin
- The report ensured that the scheme could be successfully progressed to the next stage
- The new changing facilities will mean that the recreation ground is used more frequently and by more members of the community and around
“We were pleased to assist with this project at a very early stage and are delighted to hear that works are now being undertaken to provide new and improved facilities to the local community. Investing just a few hours of time can make a difference for many years to so many people in a community and we believe that this helps to set us apart from many other companies within our industry.”
