The Trust is working hard to restore and reuse this Grade II listed building which we use for our education and community events and arts programmes, and to adapt the surviving first floor of the Chapel with its tiered pews to create an auditorium for school visits and community performances.
With external support and our own investment we’ve been able to:
We’ve done a lot – but need to do more. Our next project is to increase capacity of the building by improving the groud floor and staircases to the first floor auditorium.
To further bolster the Trust’s efforts to attract additional external funding we have launched a local appeal for £50,000 which will be used to lever in a further £200,000.
Supporters can send a cheque (payable to the Queen Street School Preservation Trust) to the Treasurer, Graham Cannon at the Wilderspin School Museum, Queen Street, Barton, DN18 5QP, or contact us for details of how to arrange a BACS payment. Alternatively, you can set up a standing order for a monthly payment or a BACS payment. While it is hoped that these payments will continue for two years they can be cancelled at any time.
