As the Winscombe Community Association has moved to what is called an ‘Incorporated Charity’ we now have a new Constitution. This requires the WCA to have members. Therefore WCA have just launched a new membership scheme which is completely free. Why not join the WCA as a member and be first to hear what is going on especially with the New Building about to start construction.

Close on the heels of our Community Ownership Fund Grant of £300,000 we have just heard that we have obtained £200,000 from the National Lottery Community Fund. This is another massive step for the project. We have also been informed that we will be receiving a further £60,000 in grants from providers once the digging starts.
With 89% of funds identified (see below), it’s to going happen very soon, although there’s still lots to do and more funds to find.

Our thanks goes to the National Lottery Community Fund and all those who have played the lottery

Our Architects B2 and our consultants for structural design, electrical design and heat management are now working hard to create a building specification. Once this is completed a tender document will be created and sent out to various construction companies to provide us the build quotes. This is currently scheduled to happen towards the end of March. Once we have received the quotes and talked to each of the construction companies we hope to appoint our build late May or Early June.
