@Will_Palin @Dockyardchurch Fantastic news and so very well deserved.

Wonderful press today after @Dockyardchurch took top honours at RICS national awards. Huge boost for Sheerness & Sheppey. The former church (now @TheIslandWorks ) is open Mon - Sat 9-5 & has a superb cafe, event space, mtg rooms & co-working space.

Sheerness, once synonymous with its Dockyard & tall ships, is home to a neoclassical church.

On the At Risk Register, the building is now undergoing restoration & adaptation into an Enterprise Centre for Young People & their businesses: https://t.co/NioxBkUBvS
