The Old Chapel Community Project was set up in March 2018 by a group of people in the village, who wanted to ensure that The Old Chapel remained part of their community.
The aim of the project was to initially raise £50,000 required to purchase the building from the Countess of Huntingdon's Trust, thus preventing it from going to auction. After just 10 weeks and a fabulous Open Day celebrating the Royal Wedding, we reached our goal, receiving donations and pledges totaling £50k! On November 2nd 2018, purchase of The Old Chapel was completed. An Official Opening Day was held on November 3rd, with special guest (and resident of Gotherington) Edward Gillespie OBE, Lord-Lieutenant of Gloucestershire. |

The second phase of the project is to seek grant funding to fully renovate the building.
