Where it all began
Back in 1823, a group of local men bought a piece of land in Mellor Brook and built a chapel. It served as a chapel for 10 years before being turned into a school, known as St. Saviour's Chapel, for the next 46 years. After that, the building was used to support the local community, especially those in need. Over time, the property changed hands and was expanded. A reading room was added for the young men in the village, which became so popular that a recreation room was built in 1895. That same year, a playground was added behind the community rooms for the school. St. Saviour's Chapel stayed in use until 1962. After that, the church decided to reopen it as a community center in 1965. Since then, it has served the village as a valuable gathering place.
Ways to Support Us
To continue offering a warm, welcoming space for everyone, we need your support. As a volunteer-run hub, we rely on donations, helping hands and community involvement to keep things running. One off donations and every contribution, big or small, goes directly into running the centre. We are powered by the generosity of people like you. Every pound makes a difference.
