The £30,000 project has seen the transformation of a changing room block on the edge of a football pitch at Windsor Crescent. Part of the building is now a space fully kitted out for the wider community to use.
The event, between 12pm and 2pm, will be a chance for residents and interested partners to see the newly refurbished space.
The revamp was made possible by the council securing a £30,788 grant from the FCC Communities Foundation. The organisation funds environmental and social projects using money from the UK arm of a waste and landfill multinational.
Kirk Hallam Community Wellness Network pushed for the building at Windsor Crescent to be repurposed after highlighting a need for youth and community space.
Local people backed the idea in a survey that was launched by the council’s Active Erewash team – which provides sport, physical activity and health-related services in the borough.
The Deputy Mayor of Erewash, Councillor Harry Atkinson, will officially open the community facility.
He said: "What a truly fantastic day for Kirk Hallam. To see this community facility come to life is a moment of pure celebration.
Communities form the backbone of Erewash, let this space be a place where we can come together, support each other, and build an even stronger, more connected community."
