Become a Friend of The Mansion

The Mansion sits in the heart of our town. Behind its facade you will find a community; local charities and social enterprises, volunteer guides and gardeners and local people taking part in the variety of events and activities on offer.

As a home to over twenty different locally run organisations, the Mansion generates almost its entire income through rent. This income covers the running costs of the building which is spent on our brilliant staff team, building upkeep and maintenance.

As a community asset, a shared space gifted to our community for the benefit for local people, we would like to be able to make continuous improvements and promptly respond to emergency repairs. Grants help with this but donations mean we have more of a breathing space if we have unexpected costs but also allow us to do the things that make the Mansion feel special, like drapes in the newly refurbished Old School Hall or freshly painted windows.

We look forward to many years of the Mansion being home to an ever growing list of workshops, classes, talks and event and would love to welcome you to join us as Trustees, volunteers and staff as a Friend of this incredible community building.
