Several volunteers and companies have already offered both practical help and support for the fundraising campaign to convert the upstairs of the building into the Don War Memorial Museum and Hub.
Stockton-based Scott Bros. is supplying several skips free of charge and will transport the material back to its centre for recycling.
The planned museum will house a greatly expanded educational display of military

communities as a place to stage summer events.
Julie Cooper said: “I’m extremely grateful to Scott Bros. for providing its skip service free of charge as every penny saved will
be invested in creating a centre which honours and supports those who have served in the armed forces.”
