The Adcris project carried out a variety of works which included;
- decorate the entire inside of building
- decorate the external of building
- tiling
- plastering
- sanding down of wooden flooring and revarnishing
- paint floors with specialised paint
- removing old pelmet fittings
- wallpapering of ceiling
- filling and making good
- rebuilding of window ledges
- carpentry
- plumbing works
- ripped out the old bar area
- fitted out an IT suite / office

ADCRIS do not charge labour costs as they receive funding from a government initiative which gives young people the opportunity to train and gain work experience. This gives community groups the opportunity of having works done that costs the price of materials plus a management charge.
