Hinderwell Parish Hall asked East Cleveland Youth Housing Trust to update the decor of some of the Town Hall’s rooms. This photo shows some of the intricate work on the large windows. Some of the windows at Hinderwell Parish Hall were quite inaccessible and tower scaffolding had to be used.
Account Manager Ben Toms visited the Crown and presented the Trust with a sizable cheque. The donation was used to renovate one of the four flats within the property.
“This is exactly the type of project we want to fund. To be able to deliver training as well as providing affordable housing makes this project all the more special”. After our trip to Huddersfield earlier in the year, our travels took us to St James’s Palace to meet with Prince Andrew himself. The Duke of York’s Community Initiative is a Royal Award presented to community projects based in Yorkshire. The Crown housing renovation was recognised as a well-run, inspirational and valued project to the community of Brotton and area of East Cleveland. Unfortunately, we managed little more a passing hello with Prince Andrew before he was whisked off. The events of the day and memorable night in the city were certainly something we will remember for some time.
On the morning of 19th April ECYHT met up with Loftus High St Store Manager Christopher Blenkey and Co-op Funeral cares Glenis Sanderson to accept a cheque for £1799.21. East Cleveland Youth Housing Trust were one of more than 4000 great causes to benefit from the Local Community Fund that was set up to help make differences to communities throughout the UK. Supported by Co-op members and their loyal customers the funding raised is been used to purchase materials for our latest housing project at the Crown Hotel on Brotton High St. This incredible donation will make a huge difference to many young people in need of employment and affordable accommodation. After 16-months of renovation, ECYHT opened the doors to the Crown Hotel for its first public viewing. The building was formally a public house but has been transformed into 4 spacious flats that will soon be available to tenant. “What an excellent opportunity for families”. – Sinclair Family In a 2-hour window over 50 guests looked around the building, sharing stories about nights they’d spent in the pub, witnessed first-hand the superb views from the 1st floor flats and helped us eat far too many celebratory cakes.
“Fantastic job. You should all be proud”. – Lisa, Eston Job Centre We wish to thank everyone who attended on the day and for all the amazing feedback we received. |
