02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Barthol Chapel Community Hub formed a SCIO in November 2023, with the aim of buying the local recently decommissioned church to create a multi-use resource for everyone living in the local area. We have secured funding to purchase and begin rennovation of the building to expand events on the premises. The charity is primarily focussed on raising the funds for conversion, organising events and activiites for the community and administering the project's development.
