40Degreez is sponsored by White Stuff in Farnham and today Friday is a promotion day. Photos show Simon our lead youth worker talking to Victoria the manager. The White Stuff Foundation doubles any profits that are made by the shop on the day. If there are any cakes or tombola prizes left it will continue on Saturday. Great range of clothing at 20% discount.

Congratulations to Rebecca from The Creation Station for being in line to be crowned Top Franchisee of the Year in www.workingmums.co.uk Top Franchisee Awards 2017. Rebecca uses 40Degreez on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and the children have an absolutely fantastic time.

40Degreez had two teams entered in the Farnham Rotary Club Cyclathon on Saturday. All money raised will go to Phyllis Tuckwell, Surrey Young Carers, a school in India and other local Rotary Charities. Photos are of our intrepid cyclists, aim was to survive and not try for the greatest distance cycled! We have raised £200 so far and will publish how much was raised overall when it has all been received.

Come along and support the 50th Anniversary of Farnham Lions at their Summer Spectacular in Churt on July 8th 2017. A proportion of the proceeds will be donated to 40 Degreez. In advance, we greatly appreciate this, and look forward to continuing our fantastic partnership.

We have great pleasure in inviting you all to the Grand Opening of the newly refurbished Milky Way Hall at 40 Degreez on Friday October 28^th at 10-11.30am.

A potted history of the refurbishment project follows:

Phase One – Redesign and extend kitchen; replace old units with new to increase storage space; install new appliances and fit new work surfaces.

Phase Two – Replaced badly fitting old single glazed window units in the hall with tinted double glazed aluminium surrounded units.

Phase Three – Install a suspended ceiling with insulation above; clad walls with heat retaining and noise reduction cladding; install new LED lighting system; clad walls of two upstairs rooms adjoining the hall; fit new downward flowing fan and new smoke detectors.

It has taken four years to raise sufficient funding for all this work.  The project objective was to reduce energy costs; increase rental use and reduce noise to the first floor rooms from the hall.  Already we know that the increased kitchen space has allowed greater participation by the young people in learning essential life skills such as healthy eating, cooking and nutritional values. The snuggly fitting new windows have brought 100% positive feedback from users and energy costs have reduced.

The orchestra from Andernach that were in Farnham at the weekend as part of the 25th anniversary of the Farnham Andernach Twinning were at 40Degreez on Saturday for a get together with the twinning association. They were entertained to a superb buffet by Les Hammond and then gave an impromptu concert as their farewell. It was a superb evening and 40Degreez was an ideal setting.
