Church hall to get revamp after cash boost

A key community hub in Ramsey is to get a facelift after receiving a vital cash boost.

St Paul's Church Hall will benefit from major building works after being awarded a £16,000 grant from the Manx Lottery Trust.

Martin Barrow, from the Parochial Church Council, says the hall is seeing increasing demand since the closure of the methodist church and believes the improved facilities will be welcomed by residents.

The venue is used on a daily basis on hosts a series of social and fundraising activities such as art clubs, a community drama group and dance classes.
