New Kitchen and Boiler for Houghton le Spring and District Centre for the Blind

The Society has installed a brand new kitchen and boiler at Houghton le Spring and District Centre for the Blind.

Funding amounting to £7,500 for this improvement work has been provided by Sunderland City Council’s Coalfield Area Committee through the City Council’s Neighbourhood Fund.

The Centre has been given a new lease of life and is now available to hire by community groups. The Houghton le Spring and District Support Group for visually impaired people continues to meet weekly on a Tuesday from 1:00 to 6:00  New members welcome..

The Screwfix Foundation also donated £5,000 as matched funding for the project.

Anyone interested in hiring the facilities should telephone the Society on 0191 5673939

We would like to thank the Coalfield Area Committee for this wonderful support and the Screwfix Foundation. Without this support the work would not have taken place
