Our mission is to save this historic building and turn it into a vibrant and sustainable community asset. This will be run by the community, for the community and there is widespread support for this project.

The Town Hall was closed in 2016 due to lack of basic maintenance and repair. This had a big impact on groups who used this building and since then the Island has been struggling with the lack of a suitable large venue.

Our Feasibility Study has developed a concept design and a business plan which demonstrate how this building could be used for both social and economic benefit. Preservation of a historic building and an asset for the future for the whole community!

Our concept design allows for maximum use of space simultaneously to create a vibrant, welcoming building open to all.

The end design has been informed by how the community would like to use the space. It has also incorporated means of making sustainable income streams so the community will benefit for years to come.
