Over the last decade, Chorlton has become an affluent area and is known for being home to many artists, musicians and skilled professionals. It is time to bring existing community work together into an online hub and encourage more partnership work and cross-participation.

1) The website chplus.uk will provide a free database of local community groups and an accompanying calendar.

2) We're running an online shop selling the work of local artists – chplus.uk/shop

3) We will help individuals or groups evolve their interests into sustainable, self-led community features.

4) We will bring residents’ professional skills and abilities to the benefit of the wider community by running workshops and events on a ‘pay-what-you-feel’ model, which will allow for lower income families and individuals to take part.

We work on an asset-based community development model (ABC), aiming to provide support for existing self-led community groups with elements such as venue hire and social media/marketing support.

Some funding is required to get the organisation off the ground – this will cover administrative costs, website consultation, materials for events, materials to assist with the shop branch of the organisation and refunding volunteer travel expenses. All financial expenses will be made publicly available on the website quarterly.
