Construction Notification – Updated 26th Oct 25
WiNSpace Construction News
We are only 5 weeks away from Completion
It’s amazing to think that after 12 years of hoping, planning, fund raising and choosing the colour of the toilet doors etc, Winscombe is about to get a new community building for the Parish. The Construction company and their sub-contractors are currently busily hanging doors, painting walls and fitting room heating systems. All that will be left to do next month is to commission everything and give it a really good clean . We can’t wait to get the keys and show the community what they have achieved. Our thanks go to everyone who has helped us to get here in any way, shape or form. Are we excited, absolutely we are.

Although we can’t quite say, until we have obtained the final bills, we strongly believe we have met our funding target of £2,000,000 (big smiley face). This pays for the building and gets nearly everything off our ‘Wish List’. To make this final step to this amazing milestone, a grant application for £14,992.57 from the UK Government through the Rural England Prosperity Fund was successful. Getting fully funded has been achieved through the generosity of the Local Community and Businesses, Grant Providers and Parish Council and North Somerset Council– we have been so lucky.

The Trustees have agreed that we must deliver new facilities as soon as possible and are now preparing to start building in summer 2024.
However, with a huge increase in building costs over the past 18 months, we are planning a more cost-effective building, using a smaller footprint, but delivering the space the village needs. This will be by a phased approach utilising the south wing. But now you can really help to make it happen by donate to the building find.

After 40 successful years with our current buildings the time has come when we have to think about how we can preserve that legacy and take it forward by upgrading our facilities.
What the Parish needs has changed over that time and will go on changing. We now have a really exciting opportunity to find out what people want and create something special for the next 40 years!!
Our strategy is to apply for grant funding from national and smaller providers matched with donations from local individuals and businesses. In parallel, we are looking for construction companies to allow us to start the tender process and help us manage this key Parish project. We are starting a major communications exercise and fundraising activity. This will include open meetings, newsletters, website updates, posters, donation & funding ‘barometers’ and leaflet drops.
So watch out for these.
