Girls Aloud's Kimberley Walsh helps transform Walton Parish Hall

The presenter, singer and DIY guru gave hands-on help as the outdated kitchen at Walton Parish Hall

received a complete overhaul with the help of Wickes Aylesbury. 

The project was part of the Wickes Community Programme and saw the much-needed update create a 'vibrant hub' with new cabinets, a new oven, taps, flooring and wall tiles. 

The parish hall represents one of the programme's most significant donations this year, creating a 'modern, accessible space'.

Kimberly Walsh said: “I’ve had such a fantastic time working with Wickes on this project.

"It’s been amazing to see the transformation of Walton Parish Hall’s kitchen and I know it will make a real difference to the local community.

"Wickes is doing some incredible work, and I’m so excited to be part of it!”

The transformation was completed with the support of nearby installation companies including JND Installations and KRB Electrical, as well as ovens kindly donated by AEG.

Ella Farthing, Senior PR and Charity Manager at Wickes said: “We're passionate about supporting local communities, and it’s been incredible to see the positive impact the Wickes Community Programme has made.

"Since its launch in 2022, we’ve donated over 10,000 products to more than 3,000 charities across the UK, helping them create spaces they can truly be proud of.” 

The renovation also received a warm welcome from Aylesbury's former Mayor, Steven Lambert, who said: "Wickes is a true community partner, and I'm delighted to see the positive impact they're having here in Aylesbury.”

The old kitchen was over 40 years old and in poor condition with units falling apart. 

Jason Hilliard from JDN Installations said everything had to be stripped out from the floor to the cabinets.
