THE village of Eastrea has been celebrating, after securing �50,0000 worth of funding for the new Eastrea Centre.

This cash injection has come from WREN, a non profit making waste recycling business.

Noreen Smith, grants officer to the Eastrea Village Hall Trust, said: “This money will pay for our flooring, the fully-fitted kitchen and much of the internal furnishing. The Trust is delighted to have won this important award.”
