The new floor looks incredible 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

A massive Thank You to those who made this possible. And an extra thank you to Kimberley’s superstar of a husband Matt, his friend Bill, Carpet to Go, Kimberley, Russell who gave up their weekend to lay it.

All of this was made possible because of the generosity of the patrons of Plumbase Portsmouth - UKPS and VIVID Homes community fund that funds supported us to purchase the flooring.

We are so incredibly lucky and thankful to have such supportive local businesses, people and our team from our community who continue to go above and beyond to support our community hub.

Community Kettle is mainly self funded. We pay commercial rents and business rates alongside all the usual running costs of keeping a large space going.

We are incredibly proud that our community step up every day to keep our doors open for the 5-600 people that use our space weekly. Without you all Community Kettle wouldn’t be possible.

Today though we are shining an extra light of our new flooring and the amazing people who made it happen.
Thank you 🤩

Full reveal coming soon 🩷🩷🩷

This weekend our much needed flooring is going down.
Any help no matter how small would be greatly appreciated. As they say many hands make light work.

If you can help we are moving furniture from 1.30 on Friday and laying the floor on Saturday. We also will need to put furniture back once floor has dried. Lots of our volunteers are disabled or over 65
