Hallway refresh give us your thoughts! Here’s what the hallway looks like now A team of Gregson volunteers, our ‘Design & Vibe Group’ have been working to re design the hallway. Check out what they’ve cooked up! We’re planning on giving the hallway a much needed lick of paint and we’re rethinking the colours whilst were at it. Our aim is to unify the space, brighten it up and make it feel more welcoming. We’re also going to invest in new lighting and we’re planning on improving the flooring. This is all possible thanks to a local donor gifting our charity £5,000.
Now we need you Tell us what you think. Which colour palette do you like most? What are we missing? What other ideas do you have? Donate - this project is possible thanks to a generous donation of £5,000 from a local person. Now the Gregson is firmly looking to the future we are working hard to fulfil our vision ‘to transform our historic building and spaces into inspirational contemporary places that enable our community to thrive.’ If you’d like to talk to us about donating towards our vision, please email Charles (CEO): charles@gregson.co.uk Volunteer - Join one of our painting parties in January. Expect plenty of tea and biscuits + guidance from Gregson staff + a professional decorator. If you can help, email marianne@gregson.co.uk. Want to get more involved?
