Fiona Bruce MP visits Beech House in Congleton to see Adullam Homes’ new meeting facilities
Fiona Bruce MP recently visited Adullam Homes Housing Association Ltd in Congleton at Beech House to tour the facilities and see their new meeting facilities which are to be made available for use by the local community.
In 2011-12 Adullam Homes helped 72 local people move forward in their lives by moving them out of supported accommodation into independent living or accommodation - either private rented accommodation, back with family or a partner or a registered social landlord. Adullam Homes Single Homeless service at Beech House, Congleton provides support for a whole spectrum of vulnerable people aged 16-65.
Adullam Homes now want to offer their meeting room facilities at Beech House to local community groups at modest cost. The modern and newly refurbished meeting room facilities are equipped for many different requirements and include flexible seating arrangements, Wi-Fi internet access, and a smart board and soon hope to offer in house catering. It is intended that the meeting rooms be available for hire during the 9 to 5 working day as well as evenings.
Gillian Herdman, Social Business Manager at Beech House said: “So far, the meeting room hire facility is fully operational offering competitive hire rates and discounts for local community groups. The next phase is getting the on-site catering enterprise into action to cater for meetings and events. We are also discussing and planning other enterprise initiatives in conjunction with Congleton Partnership and with businesses, charities and community groups in the area.”
Fiona Bruce MP said following her visit “I am so impressed by Beech House; it has such a pleasant and inviting atmosphere and is finished to the highest standard. The new meeting rooms will be an ideal way to serve the wider business and voluntary community and offer first rate facilities. Adullam is such an important organisation and provides much needed and valued support to its residents and to the Congleton Community.”
