COUNCILLOR Tahir Maher, Earley town mayor, officially opened a refurbished space at Radstock Lane Community Centre.
Named The Elizabeth Room in honour of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the space is a cosy, informal area, with a relaxed atmosphere and kitchen facilities.
It is available for hire to local support groups and charities.
The Town Council is aware that the impacts of the Covid 19 pandemic and the current cost of living crisis have led to many organisations seeing an increase in the number of people needingsupport, and an increase in the level of that support.
The purpose of The Elizabeth Room is to provide somewhere warm and welcoming for local charities and organisations in Earley to provide their services, especially if their clients are experiencing loneliness or social isolation.
The Elizabeth Room is equipped with comfortable chairs and tables, a kitchen area for making refreshments, games, toys and other provisions.
The room is a good size and is suitable for group meetings, one-to-ones, or somewhere for a group to get together.
For further information, or to arrange a viewing, people should call the Earley Town Council offices on: 0118 986 8995, or email: administration@earley-tc.gov.uk
