Grand boost to redecorate and refurbish craft room
MACCLESFIELD Community ArtSpace is a local charity that helps to make all kinds of creativity accessible to the people of Macclesfield.
We are based at the top of an old mill on Heapy Street, where there is space to run courses and workshops and welcome community groups to come and create.
We are currently working with local community groups and Macclesfield Town Council to prepare for the 1261 summer festival and parade day on 29th June this year.
We have been raising funds with the Tesco Blue Token Scheme and are thrilled to have received £1,000 to redecorate and refurb our craft room.
We would like to thank Sheena, Tesco Community Champion, for making this possible and all the wonderful volunteers at Artspace who have transformed the room.
