Glasgow-based contractor Stick and Steel Construction is entering the final stages of a community building project in the city.

The £820,000 scheme aims to create a new home for local charity Church House by linking a converted part of the former Queen Mary School with existing facilities within the the St Francis in the East Church.

The single-storey project is being funded with £671,000 secured by Clyde Gateway from the Scottish Government's Regeneration Capital Grant Fund and £150,000 from the Church of Scotland.

Amy Wimpenny, Project Manager at Clyde Gateway responsible for overseeing the construction, said: "This new and better-located Church House will, like its predecessor, be around for at the least the next 75 years serving the local community and providing a range of popular services delivered by a willing and determined group of staff and volunteers."

The project is due to be completed by the end of this month.
