What the charity does

Having acquired the Cotton Exchange building, we have developed our Business Plan to transform it into a hub for the town. We have secured funding to employ an architect to take our plans as far as RIBA stage 3, which are to be submitted in the first quarter of 2023. We have planned a programme of community and heritage events which will run from March 2023 for 12 months.
