What the charity does

Gwithian Chapel Ltd owns and maintains Gwithian Chapel as a community asset, ensuring it remains open and useful to our community, and saving it from private development . This unique II* listed building, open to the public since 1810, is Cornwall's last thatched Methodist chapel. Ambitious renovation in 2021 created a multi-use, multi-denominational community space - www.thechapelproject.co.uk
