About this cause

We are a Church based in the area of Handbridge in Chester. Our hall, consisting of one room is used extensively by the community. The hall is not meeting the needs of the community and the Church. It was decided in 2013 to build not just a hall but a full community centre.Extensive research and consultation took place with the community.Our research has shown that many groups and organisations, across the whole age range, will benefit from using the new centre. These include playgroups for young children through to provision for the elderly to reduce social isolation. Planning permission was gained in September 2016. Building is in August 2017 and finished by May 2018. Fitting out is required. Capital funding has been raised but we now need to raise funds for fitting out.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Yes, the equipment will aid groups and clubs in presentations, provide a hearing loop and access to Wifi and links to the internet.
