Mansfield Building Society has donated £500 through its Community Support Scheme to help The Old Schoolroom, Edingley, with costs towards a kitchen installation and renovation.

The Old Schoolroom provides people with a place to meet and learn new skills. The venue hosts regular coffee mornings and various events.

Edward Compton, chairman of the Schoolroom Committee Board said: “Local residents have worked very hard to raise the funds to renovate the centre.

“It’s wonderful to have businesses like The Mansfield that offer funding to organisations such as ourselves.”

Nicola Caulton, branch and community development manager at the Society, visit pictured with Edward, said: “Seeing so many local people support the grand re-opening has been inspiring.”

Mansfield Building Society’s Community Support Scheme funds groups and organisations in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire and meets in May and November to consider applications.
