VOLUNTARY and community groups across the town will soon be able to get their hands on a wide range of office equipment and furniture following the winding down of a multi-million pound community project.

The Community Works programme was established in 1995 using Government funding and is now in its final year of operation.

As projects come to an end, equipment and furniture used by the programme is being offered to groups across Redditch.

A programme spokesman said: "We recognise that finances within the voluntary sector are stretched and we're pleased to be able to leave something behind for the groups and communities that we have worked with."

Any groups interested in buying equipment can call the regeneration office on 534150.
