Well-loved kitchen gets a well-deserved update

Theme: Community buildings

Project/Applicant Name: St Stephen’s Church, South Shields

County: Tyne and Wear

Grant Received: £23,876

The kitchen at St Stephen’s Church had served its community in South Shields well since its installation in the 1970s. But after years of use, it was time for an upgrade.

A £23,876 grant from Biffa Award provided the funds needed to overhaul the strip lighting, improve gas installation, and install new kitchen units, anti-slip flooring and fire proofing.

Now the kitchen can be enjoyed by its community for many more years to come.

The new kitchen funded by Biffa Award will make such a huge difference to our groups. We can offer so much more to the community and we can now start extending the meals that we offer in our warm spaces, socials and community groups.
