A community hub in Longwood Park, Langley, has benefited from a full renovation.

The Byron Centre, situated on the ground floor of Byron House, had closed temporarily to undergo refurbishments by the housing association, Abri, which manages it.

The centre is now set to become a welcoming and inclusive space for Abri customers and people living in the surrounding area.

Workshops, training sessions, social events, and support groups will all take place at the centre.

The community pantry will provide customers with access to healthy, high-quality food at a lower cost, aligning with Abri's commitment to helping people with the cost-of-living crisis.

To commemorate the reopening, Abri's community investment team organised a launch event on August 20.

The event brought together people living nearby, Abri colleagues, representatives from Slough Borough Council, and other key organisations to share their thoughts, enjoy refreshments, and play pool.

Goody bags containing some of the items that customers will be able to buy at the community pantry were also handed out by Abri.

Olivia Fuller, community investment manager at Abri, said: "It was great to launch the newly refurbished Byron Centre, show it to the local community, and meet customers and local organisations who will use the centre moving forwards.

"We plan to use suggestions from the local community to create a schedule of exciting and engaging activities.

"So please get in touch with us if you would like to discuss running an event or activity from the Byron Centre."
