Phase 2

This stage of the project was centered around transforming the beautiful former dance hall on the first floor of the Saints building into a multi-functioning space with a new kitchen, upgraded bathrooms and improved facilities for our growing community. The works began in October 2024 and completed in April 2025.

What is Phase 2?

We recieved £1.8 million!

We are priviledged to be part of Nuneaton’s successful Towns Fund bid of £23.2 million. These funds are vital to help us develop our space as part of Phase 2, and become a sustainable project. You can read more about the Towns Fund by clicking the button below.

Where we started

In 2021, we shared this video, which was directed by Nuneaton young person Aaron Jones. It shared our vision for Phase 2 and what we hoped to achieve.

The transformation

In October 2024 Mayway Construction began work on Phase 2, and the works completed April 2025. What was once a mothballed ‘hidden gem’, has now been lovingly restored back to its former glory, alongside the installation of brand-new kitchen and toilet facilities. (see below for photos of before and after renovations)

The Hall ‘Before’

Photo of St George's Hall before renovations, with red and gold ceiling and pink and blue walls, and a wooden floor. The wallpaper on the walls is peeling off, and the room looks in disrepair.
St Georges hall after renovations. Now with a rich green ceiling and walls, with cream decorative beams and a deep plum coloured panelling. More stained glass windows are revealed, and the floor has been sanded and revarnished.

The Hall ‘After’

The back of St Georges hall after renovations. There is a floral wallpaper along the back wall, with stained glass windows and deep plumb coloured panelling at the bottom. There is a dark brown leather sofa and two fabric armchairs.
A kitchen in obvious disrepair. The old vinyl floor is damaged, there are old empty cupboards and a stainless steel sink.

The Kitchen ‘Before’

Kitchen with damaged flooring, exposed pipework where appliances once stood, the windows are blacked out so there is no natural light.
A kitchen with newly installed units. The walls are clad in white wipeable boarding, the units are dark navy with stainless steel handles and countertops. There is a water boiler and microwave on top of the counter. The floor is a sand coloured vinyl

The Kitchen ‘ After’

The kitchen. A marble topped island in the middle, with two large commercial ovens and an extractor hood along one wall, and sinks, countertops and leaded windows with secondary glazing now installed.

Introducing the ‘George Muller Hall’
