How Can You Support Royston Wardieburn Community Centre?

Royston Wardieburn Community Centre’s courtyard is requiring new outdoor flooring. Half of the ground is slabbed and the other half is fitted with a rubber mat. 
This area is connected to their cafe/kitchen which has a ramp for wheelchair users and/or those with mobility issues. 
Currently, this space is unusable as it is not practical or safe.
They would like to open this up so that their toddler group could utilise this for their sand & water table play in better weather, as well as for older people to enjoy the open air with a barbecue, seating etc. 
They have a mural erected on the wall which has brightened the place up and they have planters there also.
However, a better and safer ground covering is essential, as well as ideal, so that their community could benefit greatly from this unoccupied and empty area.
