A POPULAR community building in Odiham has been refurbished and modernised using money raised by residents.

The Old School building, owned by the Vine Church, has undergone a makeover, thanks to the £165,000 raised by the local community in Odiham.

The building, owned by the Vine Church, is used by Odiham residents for various events and social gatherings. It also serves as the base for The Vine Church.

With the money raised during last summer, the Old School now has new flooring, a stage area, a new PA/AV system and a complete colour scheme change.

The refurbished building will be officially opened to the public on Saturday, December 11, with an entertainment event featuring award-winning singer Jonathan Veira.
