Open day at Kingshurst community hub

TEAM EFFORT: Volunteers gathered at The Space last month

THE third in a series of open days is taking place at the recently revamped Kingshurst Youth & Community Centre this weekend.
A team of volunteers had worked hard before Christmas to get the building, which had been shut up for several years, up to scratch.
It is hoped that by bringing the site back into regular use it will bolster the case to build a permanent facility into the revamped shopping parade, when this scheme finally moves forward.
A community café is being created on-site and locals are also being invited to offer up ideas on how best to make use of the space, in Marston Drive.
Residents, ward councillors and community groups have all teamed up to put the pilot project together and efforts have also been supported by locally-raised grime artist Lady Leshurr, who had attended the venue as a teenager.
The Space is open tomorrow (Saturday) from 11.30am-3pm.
