We believe the Acorn Centre is the people's Centre, run by a Charity for the benefit of everyone. Recent times have been tough for everyone, and we have had to make hard decisions in order to survive through the Pandemic so we are here for the Community in the future.
Our current challenge is that our Centre is aging and requires substantial repairs and maintenance works totalling up to £250,000. Torbay Council and Torbay Development Agency are actively supporting us with emergency repair works but this still leaves lots of outstanding essential works.
We are working harder than ever to be here for our community not just now but into the future and we are hoping our amazing supporters can assist us with some of these works.
We are currently raising funds to replace some of our lights in the Centre to energy efficient LED's. We have already seen a 50% increase in our energy bills, which are substantial already and this will increase further from April and beyond. These proposed lights will reduce our bills quite significantly so will further aid as part of our sustainability business plan.
The cost to replace these lights are just under £3,000. If we are fortunate enough to exceed this target figure, then the subsequent funds would be used to undertake additional repair and maintenance works identified from survey findings.
