A Derry church will tomorrow celebrate recent refurbishment of its parish centre.
The work was carried out at St Peter’s church on Culmore Road.
More than £100,000 was raised to finance the work, which brings the centre up to the necessary health and safety standards.
Among the improvements are a new kitchen, toilets, heating system and internal doors, and new flooring has been laid throughout.
The building has also been painted inside and out, and new insulation fitted.
The money for the refurbishment was raised through donations from parishioners and groups who already use the centre, and with funding from the Garfield Weston Foundation and Awards for All.
The public are invited to visit the Parish Centre tomorrow between 2.30pm and 5.30pm, to see the improvements.
Existing user groups will be putting on demonstrations and providing information for people who wish to enquire about classes.
Refreshments will be served throughout, and the afternoon will finish with a Service of Celebration and Dedication at 5.00pm.
A number of local groups already use the centre weekly.
Throughout the year, other groups use the centre for fundraisers, meals, parties and youth events.
They include Mencap, the City of Derry & District Gardening Society, Marie Curie Cancer Care, Limavady Grammar School, Badgers and the Church of Ireland.
The parish centre can be hired for weekly classes or one-off events.
