🏦 The Bank Update

It’s been a little while since we last shared an update on The Bank, but we’ve still been busy working behind the scenes on the renovation.

Our new upstairs Wild Edge Arts office has now had a fresh coat of paint, featuring some of our brand colours! 🎨

Next up, we’ll be getting the heating and broadband installed over the next couple of weeks, bringing us another step closer to getting the space up and running.

If you’d like to support the ongoing renovation of The Bank, our donation page is still open. Every contribution goes towards helping us bring the building back into use.
