A construction company and traineeship students from Coleg Cambria have worked together to update a community centre.

Ten traineeship learners from the college worked alongside Bodelwyddan-based Wynne Construction staff for up to four hours a week over four weeks on the project through November and December.

The initiative is part of a wider campaign to provide community benefits following Wynne Construction’s work on the £7.1m Flintshire Early Years project, which will see 10 schools across the county expand their pre-school provisions.

As part of the joint project, the two storage rooms at Holway Community Centre were cleared and painted, with new doors fitted to internal cupboards to increase the amount of secure storage on site.

Paint from Mold-based Simon O’Neill Painters and Decorators was donated for use in the renovation to give the rooms a bright new look.

The centre’s grassed entrance area was also given a makeover, allowing for the laying of turf and low-level plants to help create an attractive visual element to the front of the building.

The work at the centre will support local groups who need to leave items of equipment in safe storage such as parent and toddler groups, youth groups, and the breakfast club.

Social value manager at Wynne Construction Alison Hourihane said: “One of our top priorities is developing the next phase of the industry through the Wynne Futures Foundation.

“Projects like the Holway Community Centre rejuvenation is a great way to help students develop their confidence and skills whilst also contributing towards the improvements to the centre."
