A Grade II-listed historic farmhouse in Droitwich is continuing its volunteer recruitment drive with a coffee morning.

The event, organised by the ‘Safe as Houses’ project team at Willow Court Farmhouse, aims to inform potential volunteers about the restoration efforts of the long-abandoned property into affordable housing by 2026.

The coffee morning will offer a platform for the community to understand how they can contribute.

Volunteers are sought to research the site's history, gather oral histories, document the restoration process, and assist at future outreach events.

The Droitwich CVS Rotary House will host the gathering on Wednesday, November 13, from 10.30am to 12pm.

Prospective attendees are encouraged to RSVP to poppy@wmhbt.org.uk.

The farmhouse, formerly known as Boycott Farmhouse, is in a Droitwich residential area.

With scant information available about the landmark, the Worcestershire Building Preservation Trust has taken on the challenge of conserving the building.

The project, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, aims to convert the farmhouse into six new affordable rental flats.

The initiative also has backing from the Architectural Heritage Fund, Wychavon District Council, and Platform Housing.
