A funding boost of £37,886 has been awarded to the new community and sports centre being built in Marshland St James near King's Lynn.

The money, awarded by not-for-profit business WREN's FCC Community Action Fund, will be used to fund a kitchen, hand dryers and audio visual equipment at the Marshland Hall on Smeeth Road.

Hall spokesman John Askew, said: 'This project will provide a real boost to the people of Marshland St James and surrounding area.

'It's fantastic that WREN has awarded us this money and we're really looking forward to our community centre completing over the next few weeks.'

WREN grant manager Penny Beaumont said: 'We're delighted to be supporting the Marshland Hall fixtures and fittings project and we're pleased our funding will make such a difference to so many lives within the Marshland St James parish and the nearby villages.'
