The Kimberworth Park TARA group is currently undergoing a kitchen renovation at their resource centre. This centre has been the group’s home for many years, serving as the base for their three-day-a-week subsidised meal program, charity shop and for their community events and day trips.
Funds generated from these meals and the group’s charity shop are crucial for supporting many projects including community day trips and events.
Thanks to successful funding from VAR through the Miss Penlington Community Chest Grant and the support of Rotherfed staff, the group is replacing outdated kitchen equipment with more energy-efficient models. This upgrade will not only allow the group to continue serving the community but also reduce utility costs and enhance the group’s sustainability for the future. Alongside the upgraded appliances the group have got new crockery, cutlery and pans to give the dining area an uplift.
The first batch of new equipment arrived on Monday 27th January, marking the beginning of this exciting kitchen renovation.
