Rowley Regis
Project Name: Upstairs option
Survey Duration From: 27th January 2025 – 10th February 2025
Project Code: ROW14
Project Details:
Cradley Heath Community Link was formed in 2014. They are open Monday-Friday where different activities run weekly such as Mom and Tots group, Crafting, and a Men’s mental health group.
The organisation has a wide range of people who attend for all different types of needs and services. They are very popular with having around 400 of people through the door on a monthly basis.
As the demand is growing for the services, Cradley Heath Community Link have noticed that they need to start utilising the two rooms upstairs which is currently only used for admin purposes and stock.
There are a lot of elderly groups who use the centre and unfortunately the organisation do not have accessible toilets as they are upstairs and therefore service users are having to use the Weatherspoon’s pub next door.
Cradley Heath Community Link have applied for CIL funding to purchase a stair lift. This would enable to move some of the groups upstairs, they would be able to get full access to toilets and the organisation would also be able to welcome new groups to put on new activities and have capacity for new members.
Amount of CIL funding being requested is £2,799.

Wednesbury Tennis Club is a community group that has been running since 1903 and has been described as the oldest running tennis club in Staffordshire. The club provides the opportunity for users of all ages to learn and play tennis.
