Phase 3 - Current Project (Circa £140,000) - Fundraising Achieved  - Due to start ASAP

As part of this phase we'll be re-roofing the remaing occupancy of our HQ. This involves stripping the existing slates, replacing rotten timbers and re-using as many of the existing slates as possible to go back on to the roof. There's also some structural work that needs completing. We'll also replace four sets of rotten damaged external wooden doors and windows.

This phase will allow us to complete our move out of the Long Barn and return the keys for this building to Trafford Council.

As part of this phase we aim to create a dedicated, multi-use activity room equipped for bouldering and indoor caving. We'll also create an additional external outdoor multi-use-space for activities all year round including space for archery. This expansion is vital to meet the growing demands of our scouting program, as highlighted by the feedback from children and young people who regularly face challenges due to limited space.

Phase 4b - Heating Upgrade (Awaiting Prices)

We're starting to explore replacing our end-of-life gas space heater in the main room and at the same time looking at how we heat the new room. We'll have do some prep work i.e. insulation etc. to ensure we are ready for our new heating.

Phase 5a - Kitchen (Awaiting Prices - Approx £20,000 - £30,000)

We're are  looking at installing a new kitchen, with more ovens, more storage and more worktop space for young people to take part in cooking activities. As part of this work we'll need to install new external doors, a new concreate slab with a DPM in the room and some strucutal work.
