We are so pleased to announce that The Old Chapel Community Project has been successful in three of its applications for grant funding, raising a total to date of £67k.  Our thanks to Enovert Community Trust, The National Lottery's Community Fund and the Garfield Weston Foundation, for seeing the benefits that our project will have on the local community. 

To find out more about our grant applications and other updates on the project, please read the latest Newsletter below or pop along to our next Open Day at The Old Chapel on February 22nd!
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. 

​With local support we have secured financial investments for our project from the following community support schemes.
