Bringing Together Glossop’s Creatives

Posted on by Duncan Wright

Glossop is home to some amazing creative talent in a broad spectrum of disciplines from food and drink, through musicians and artists to those who make their living delivering creative services like marketing, design, photography, videography, copywriting and the like.

The need for Collaboration

One factor that is common across these sectors is the need to work collaboratively, and to engage with other like-minded people.

Most of the creatives in the town are working on their own or in small groups focused on a specific goal but, to be most effective, we need to come together. To share ideas, to create partnerships to tackle bigger project, or simply to share contacts and expertise.

In the fullness of time our vision is that Glossop will have spaces that facilitate this co-working and collaboration, including the development of an Arts Centre in Victoria Hall and the creation of co-working and creative space within the Market/Town Hall complex. However that’s the future, and spaces like that will succeed if there is a strong and thriving creative population within the town.

For this reason we are already working to create this collaboration through the creation of networking groups.

  1. Glossop Creates Food and Drink
  2. Glossop Creates Artists
  3. Glossop Creates Music and Entertainment
  4. Glossop Creates Commercial Creatives

Whilst networking and collaborating has been challenging over the last 12 months, we have still managed to move things forward using virtual meeting places like Google Meets and Zoom. As a result, three of these groups (Food & Drink, Musicians & Commercial Creatives) are already off the ground, with plans to launch the Artists group imminently.

As restrictions start to relax, as hopefully they will over the next few months, we can start to meet physically to build on the relationships that have started to form online.

Purpose

Through Glossop Creates, the Glossop Creative Trust aims to bring people together to raise aspirations, enable them to think bigger and be more ambitious. This philosophy was demonstrated perfectly recently when we had the opportunity to submit a seven figure bid to the UK Community Renewal Fund.

By harnessing the passion of the local creative community and joining this up with the skills of placemaking professional Claire Tymon, we were able to create a strong bid to the fund, aimed at the development of Cultural and Artistic activities in the town and beyond, as a catalyst for the town’s economic recovery as we emerge from COVID. All of this was made possible because of our fantastic links with High Peak Borough Council who facilitated & endorsed the whole process.

The bid encompasses a diverse range of ideas including:

  • Developing innovative and original public art installations
  • Developing existing and launching new cultural festivals
  • Exploring and piloting new ways to use heritage assets in a sustainable manner to create facilities for local creatives
  • Supporting and encouraging local arts organisations to grow and develop

Without the collaboration that was started through the Glossop Creates networks, a bid like this would not have been possible. Furthermore, the fact that we had already started to build these relationships meant that we could pull it all together within a very tight deadline of just a couple of weeks. A process that true demonstrated the power of collaboration. A Collaboration that will benefit the entire creative community in the town and beyond.

How to get involved

Whether or not the bid is successful, and we will be talking more about it over the coming weeks, the process of working on it has brought us together and made us more ambitious as to what can be achieved. As such it has demonstrated perfectly the vision and objectives of the Glossop Creative Trust.

If you would like to get involved and join one of our networks, we would love to hear from you. Simply click here, and sign up as a member or supporter of the Trust, or simply email hello@glossopcreates.com. It would also be great if you could tell us a little bit about yourself, and what you do. We would be delighted to hear from you and to welcome you into the network.

 

Victoria Hall – The Jewel in Glossop’s Crown?

Posted on by Duncan Wright

Last Month I posted an update on the Town Hall project, and how it fitted in to our wider vision for Glossop. This month I turn the focus to Victoria Hall, the second of Glossop’s significant public buildings.

But before I do, I just want to handle an elephant in the room (For me at least). Why all this talk of buildings, when our vision for Glossop is about the supporting and developing  a vibrant creative ecosystem within the town. As a Zoologist (OK its a stretch, but I do have a degree in Zoology!) I know that to thrive, an ecosystem needs a habitat and the halls form a key part of of that ecosystem. Whilst our primary vision is the community itself, our aim is that halls like Victoria Hall become the beating heart of that community.

Why is Victoria Hall key?

It was built and given to a charitable trust for the benefit of the people of Glossop as an arts and community venue, and has been used as such for over 100 years before closing a few years ago. In property circles, they say the top three priorities are Location Location Location! Happily the Hall is not far from the town centre, has a small car park which is part of that landholding (on the opposite side of Fauvel Road) and that will ultimately transfer to the prospective new charity to take an asset transfer of the building from High Peak BC in due course. Further, the project is assured of being able to use a large area of land very close by for parking when larger events take place there. On this measure, as a performance venue Victoria Hall is well placed. And it has amazing spaces within as all who have visited and inspected it know. And while it is in a relatively quiet residential area it has the scope to become a community activity focus for all those who do and will be living there.

It is a key community asset as well as being a valued historic Listed Building which many are concerned to see preserved and given a sustainable long term use. It provides a purpose built, substantial performance venue with the potential to house a 250 seater performance venue alongside associated arts facilities like rehearsal and workshop rooms, exhibition space and meeting rooms. It also has a dedicated group of individuals focused on bringing this vision to reality. Nowhere else in the town has this potential, so Victoria Hall is key building and has the potential to be The Jewel in Glossop’s Crown.”

The Challenge of Community Arts Projects

Despite being a key component of our vision, on its own running Victoria Hall as an arts centre has some financial challenges. They are clearly set out in the major Feasibility Study commissioned in 2018. It’s a well-known fact that making regional arts venues financially viability is indeed a challenge. Whilst grants can go some way to mitigating this, the plan is to consider Victoria Hall, and other Arts/Community assets in the town as part of a bigger picture. A picture that includes more commercial aspects like the Town Hall, Market Hall and commercial / creative workspace in the town centre. The Victoria Arts Centre team have always recognised that some form of additional external income will be crucial to their project and seek a form of “cross subsidy” from other income generating sources. Happily High Peak BC are aware and accepting of this critical need.

By creating an environment of co-management and cross subsidy between venues and the more commercial assets, there is a much better chance of balancing the books. But this is far from being a one way relationship with commercial assets supporting community and arts assets. In reality the relationship between the two sites will be far more symbiotic as the buzz and interest created by venues like Victoria Hall and associated activities including spin off performances and exhibitions in the town centre complex and around the town create a much more attractive proposition for those interested in living or doing business in Glossop. Together they therefore make a major potential contribution to the attractiveness of this town as a place both to live and run businesses and the positive growth of the local economy.

So What about the Next 12 Months

In my last post, I talked about Glossop Creates. Our initiative is to support and grow the arts and hospitality sectors in the town as we come out of Covid-19 restrictions.

At its heart, Glossop Creates is about community. But community needs to meet. Whilst this is not possible at the moment due to restrictions on gatherings, our hope and expectation is that over the next 6-12 months, these restrictions will lift, and gatherings will become possible again. When this does happen Victoria Hall represents the perfect venue. It is light and airy and has the space to host gatherings without the need to pack people in! Thus, it is the perfect venue in these times. We anticipate that whilst the restrictions have meant a slow start for Glossop Creates over the last 6 months, we have some exciting activities planned over the next six months, both at the Victoria Hall and around the town so be sure to connect with us on Social Media, or sign up as a supporter or Member, and we will be sure to keep you posted on all our activities.”

Furthermore, if you would like to sign up as a friend of Victoria Hall, let us know and we would be happy to put you in touch.

Bright Future for Glossop’s Halls

Posted on by Duncan Wright

Anyone who has followed the story of the Glossop Creative Trust over the last 10 years, will know that we have always had an interest in the future of the public halls in the town. Whilst its been slow progress at times, things are moving forward with community focussed plans for both Victoria Hall (More of that in a future post) and the Town Hall complex both building momentum.

Town Hall Project Funding

The Town Hall project had a major boots recently when D2N2 confirmed £2m funding for the project as part of their Getting Building Fund. The cash that comes on the back of recent investment in the building by HPBC to repair the Town Hall roof, and current work to improve the Market Hall, paves the way to bringing the complex fully back into use with the community at its heart.

The work on the project over the least 10 years by High Peak Borough Council in partnership with the Trust, meant that it was pretty much “spade ready” and a perfect candidate for a bid to the fund.

A vision for the Future

So now that this funding is secured, what next for the Town Hall complex buildings?

For me the project has never been about the buildings. But rather about what part the buildings can play in the economic life of the town.

Glossop currently lacks a focal point! There is so much creative talent in the town; Artists, Writers, Musicians, Performers, Designers…. The list goes on. But this talent is hidden & dispersed across the town. My vision, and that of the Trust is that these buildings, along with Victoria Hall, create this focus. Providing a destination where people can come to enjoy the creativity of the town.

To this end, we have been working with placemaking consultant Claire Tymon to communicate our vision for the development. That it become:

A new cultural and social hub in Glossop town centre. providing space for conversation, collaboration and creativity. It will encourage a “have a go” attitude, welcoming independent businesses to have a place to test ideas and grow.

Furthermore, it will provide the local community and visitors with a new indoor market and a range of diverse spaces for work, events, exhibitions and
entertainment. 

It is this vision that we are currently working with High Peak Borough Council to bring about through development of the Town Hall complex on the back of the D2N2 Funding.

The Next Steps

So how are we planning to turn this vision into a reality? The answer to this lies in the two strands of our activity at the moment:

Strand 1 – Partnership with HPBC to deliver the Town Hall project

With a deadline for completion of Summer 2022 the project to develop the Town Hall complex is an ambitious one. Our objective in this area is to work with  High Peak Borough Council to ensure that the project delivers on our shared vision and it has the buy in and support of both the creative & wider communities in the town. To achieve this, are sitting with senior members of the project team on a subgroup focussing on the ultimate use of the buildings, and ensuring that practical aspects of the development support the vision for the complex as a

“A new cultural and social hub in Glossop town centre”

Strand 2 – Glossop Creates

Glossop Creates is an initiative that we launched towards the end of 2020 which aims to support and encourage creative business & individuals within the town. The initiative, spearheaded by Clair Tymon and Stephen Dexter, is supported financially through grants from both High Peak Borough Council and Arts Council England.

Through Glossop Creates, we will be engaging in a series of activities over the coming months including:

  • Hosting virtual networking events for business & individuals involved in food & beverage, music and arts & creative
  • Hosting on-line makers markets showcasing local businesses & talent
  • Establishing a mentoring programme to aspiring local creatives
  • Micro commissions to local artists to provoke peoples thinking about their response to the current situation and inspiring different generations to connect with the town
  • Developing an “Urban Room” to help people make a connection with the town in which they live, and to inspire thought about the future.

Through this activity, we are looking to stimulate creativity within the town and to build momentum within the creative community that will inform support and stimulate the discussions and activities around the development of the halls as they come to fruition.

2021 is lining up to be a busy and exciting time for the Glossop Creative Trust, so be sure to sign up as a member or supporter and we will be sure to keep you posted.

Working closely with HPBC for Glossop’s Creative Future

Posted on by Duncan Wright

Before the world changed on 23rd March 2020, The Glossop Creative Trust, through the Glossop Creates movement, had started to build momentum around developing a name for the town as a hotbed of culture & creativity. With much focus on the Food Beverage and Hospitality industries, and with plans to start regular food and drink events through June, July and August, it was set to be an exciting summer.

But then in mid March, the national lockdown caused the country to hit pause, all our plans had to be put on hold and the burgeoning hospitality businesses in the town with whom we were building relationships were thrown into chaos.

But non of that is new. So what of the future?

Working behind the scenes

Whilst we have had to delay our front line activities, we have not been idle. Working behind the scenes, we have cemented our already positive relationship with the High Peak Borough Council (HPBC), who we recognised would be key to bringing our vision to reality.

As a result we have now signed a 5 year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), meaning that we are now recognised by the Local Authority as “the community strategic lead organisation for the development of Glossop as a creative hub” and furthermore now have an agreement to share resources and information as we develop a common strategy for developing the creative industries with the area.

In addition to the MOU, we are also working on converting the Glossop Creative Trust into a Community Interest Company (CIC) to better reflect our objectives in the town, but more of that in a future post, so watch this space!

Resources to Build the Partnership

Along side the MOU, the partnership brings resources, with HPBC also awarding the Trust a grant of £15,000 to start to put plans into action. Resources which will in part, be used to secure the professional services of Claire Tymon. A resident of Hadfield, Claire has a great track record of delivering the type of project we are building in Glossop and brings with her some first class contacts like world renowned designer Wayne Hemingway, with whom Claire has worked on previous projects.

Claire has some great ideas and works on the project with a passion that only a local could exhibit. Having engaged consultants on this type of project in the past, working with Claire is a pleasure. She is in a class of her own. Furthermore, I fully expect that we will be able to use Claire’s ideas & skills to deliver further investment into the town helping us to bring our vision to a reality.

Big plans for the future

These are exciting times for towns like Glossop, which recently received a rave review as a foodie hub in the Manchester Evening News, though I am not sure about the “Sleepy Town” epithet! And which this month has received an in principal agreement by the D2N2 LEP to invest over £2m to the redevelopment of the Town Hall complex in line with our vision.  Our hope is that our work with HPBC over the next few weeks to finalise the business case, will secure this funding for the town.

There has also been a shift in working practices, driven by the fact that we have all had to change the way we work over the last few months. A shift which means that people are working more flexibly, with a desire to work closer to home rather than endure the daily commute into Manchester.

Together these come together to offer significant opportunities for the town.

As Thom Hetherington, Glossop’s resident foodie succinctly put it

“I think this is a rare situation where the wind of government priorities and societal changes are all blowing strongly in Glossop’s direction, and we have one chance to crystallise that, locking it in for a generation or more.”

These may be challenging times, but as the dust settles I think Glossop will come out stronger and has a bright future.

If you want to keep up to speed on our activities, or want to get involved, you can do so here.

 

HLF The Next Step

Posted on by Duncan Wright

We have now had the initial feedback from the HLF regarding the bid for funding to support the Halls Project, and whilst on this occasion the bid has been unsuccessful this is far from the end of the project.

Whilst the HLF funding has not been approved at this stage, initial feedback has been broadly positive, suggesting a desire to find ways to move the project forward. To this end we have a meeting with the HLF team in order to hear their feedback first hand, and discuss ways to take the project forward.

It is clear from the feedback, that there is still some work to do in developing the project. Specificly around a more detailed plan regarding  the management of  the halls once the redevelopment is complete, and in developing the heritage aspects of the project.

Furthermore, the feedback suggested the need to demonstrate the community’s backing for the project. Whilst we firmly believe that this backing exists, we clearly need to do more to demonstrate this is the case.

With this in mind, we will be developing new initiatives over the coming months to allow people to get involved. In the meantime, one way you can do this now is to sign up as a supporter or member of The Glossopdale Trust. Not only will this demonstrate your support, but it will also allow you to keep up to date with what is happening on the project and other Glossopdale Trust activities.

What’s it all about?

Posted on by Duncan Wright

It’s been a while since the last update and there have been a few things happening recently that have made me ask myself a question:

Why do we do this?

In particular,  two things have got me thinking:

  1. The recent Town Hall Sessions Festival
  2. Our bid to the HLF for funding for the Halls Project

The fact is, both of these things are big projects/events in themselves and it is easy to get drawn into the idea that the project/event is the objective. I think, by taking this view, we are not seeing the big picture and risk missing great opportunities.

I was watching the Lottery Awards recently and the winner of the arts award was “The Man Engine” – www.themanengine.org.uk.  Creatively it was fantastic (though it’s a terrible website IMHO!), and reportedly it had been a big hit, drawing crowds wherever it went. On one level that is great, but the danger is that unless it is used as a catalyst for more sustainable change and development it is ultimately pointless.

Looking closer to home, to the festivals we have organised in the area (Bankswood and The Town Hall Sessions), the general feedback is that we put on a good show, everybody has a great time and the feedback is (almost) universally very positive. However, this is just one weekend and is driven by a small group of people.  Ultimately, unless it evolves as part of something bigger, it will wither and die.

Likewise, the Halls Project and the bid to gain investment in this building via the HLF. Again, unless the resulting building is being used sustainably as the centre of the arts/music scene in the town, drawing people to the area and supporting the wider economy, it will become a white elephant and we will have achieved nothing.

In other words, we only deliver real success if these projects/events are a catalyst to drive sustainable change and development in the town.

So why do we do it

We do it because we want the festivals and the Halls Project to be a catalyst for change and, as is stated on the front page of this website:

“To support the economic development of Glossop
through the promotion of music and the arts”

We want our events/projects to drive this wider objective rather than to be ends in themselves.

The value of education

As an example, let’s look at one aspect of Bankswood/Townhall Sessions Festivals which is the involvement of Live Sound students on the technical team.

Feedback from the students suggests that their involvement is of huge value for them, and makes them more employable when their course finishes. We also know that students have gained employment directly off the back of their involvement in the festivals. In these days when education (and getting a degree) is seen as the objective, what we try to do is to remember that education is about developing skills that will be useful and profitable in future life. This is much more important than the piece of paper you receive on graduation day.

Through the festivals, and our wider activities like the Halls Project, one of our aims is to broaden opportunities of this real-world experience for people starting out in their chosen careers.

Looking forward to the day when this project comes to fruition, hopefully with the support of grant funding bodies like the HLF and Arts Council, the vision is to use the facilities within the complex – music venue, creative and retail space, catering space and restaurants – to give opportunities for those just starting out on their careers to cut their teeth in the real world, alongside established and successful businesses; businesses which, by being part of it, help make the whole initiative sustainable without the need to become beholden to stakeholders whose primary interest is financial return. This is not however pure altruism, the belief is that through their involvement, as they develop their ideas and skills they will also make Glossop a more vibrant and interesting place to live and work.

More than a vision – Reality

At Bankswood we have already created an environment where bands and members of the technical team playing their first “proper” gig, are on the same stage as performers and sound engineers who have experience at major national and international festivals like Glastonbury. Our aim is to use the projects going forward to expand and broaden these opportunities.

In a world where three years’ higher education comes with a big price tag, or where apprenticeships can be seen as “cheap labour”, our aim is to create situations where, for students paying this price (whether financially or in reduced short-term earnings), it is a real investment in their future earning potential not simply a number of years spent gaining a qualification.

Moreover, education is just one example. By creating a supportive creative environment, we aim to encourage people to give things a go and try out their ideas. Whilst some of these will fail, many will not, and the process of trying them out will hopefully make Glossop a better place to live and work and thus help the town thrive.

So when you are enjoying one of the festivals/gigs that we put on, or are thinking about how wonderful it would be if we could create a live music venue in the Town Hall, spare a thought for the real objective – to help make the town a place where creativity has a place to thrive and grow.

Autumn Newsletter

Posted on by Duncan Wright

It’s been a busy summer since the spring newsletter back in March, with things moving forward on all fronts. We have had a number of outings as Bankswood Music, and the Halls project is moving forward steadily (if slowly).

One the down side, a lack of resources meant that we had to forgo running the Art in the Window Event in 2014, but we have hopes that it can rise again for 2015.

Bankswood music

Bankswood Music has had a number of outings this summer.

July, saw us working with HPBC and GALA to entertain  the crowds with live music in Manor Park after the Tour de France when it skirted the town.

Later in the summer the 4th Bankswood music festival joined forced with the Inspire Festival to create the Bankswood Inspire festival in Bankswood park, on the August Bank Holiday. A great weekend, which was blessed with great weather, and arguably the best line up yet.

Our final outing was just last weekend when again we brought live music to the annual Manor Park Bonfire Spectacular which was once again, expertly organised by the Glossop Round Table.

Glossop Halls

We often hear criticism for how slowly this project is moving. It is a large and complex project that can not be rushed, but rest assured it is moving forward, with some significant steps being taken over the summer.

Firstly, and very significantly, The Glossopdale Trust have now officially been named by HPBC as the partner organisation for the Halls project, and they have formally acknowledged their intention to transfer the Halls to us (subject to a workable & sustainable plan for the future of the buildings). This step has opened the door for us to apply for funding to support the project. This application is now in, and we are awaiting news.

We are currently starting work on  quantifying the size of the project and looking for sources of funding, including the preparation of a submission to the Heritgage Lottery Fund.

As this project moves forward, we are very keen to involve the whole community in developing a future for these buildings. Looking to inspire this involvement, we have created a video exploring some of the history of the town hall through the memories of people who have used the hall in the past. This video will be available on Youtube and our website in the coming weeks.

Looking forward

Looking forward, we are heavily involved in the Christmas celebrations in Glossop, with events on 29th November and 7th December as part of the “Glossop at Christmas” event in the run up to Christmas. (More information can be found on www.whatsoninglossop.co.uk).

Looking further ahead, we will continue to work on the Halls project, are already starting to plan Bnakswood Inspire 2015, and resources permitting, would like to see Art in the Window Return next year.

As always, if you or anyone you know would like to get involved, or simply show your support, head along to www.glossopdaletrust.org.uk website and sign up.

 

Glossopdale Trust partner with HPBC to bring new life to Glossop’s Halls

Posted on by Duncan Wright

After lengthy discussions and consultations, we are now delighted to announce that The Glossopdale Trust has been named as the preferred partner to work with High Peak Borough Council to bring Glossop Town Hall, Market Hall and the Municipal Buildings into community ownership, creating a vibrant heart for the town.

The Glossopdale Trust is a Social Enterprise with an open membership policy that was set up in 2012 with the objective of:

“Supporting the economic development of Glossop
through the promotion of music and the arts”

It was quickly identified that one issue was that Glossop lacked a central focal point, and that the Public Halls complex presented an ideal opportunity to create this. It was this thinking that led the Trust to open discussions with HPBC about a possible future for the halls.

The Trust has a vision that the halls will become:

“A NEW CULTURAL & COMMERCIAL CENTRE FOR GLOSSOP – OWNED AND MANAGED BY AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY OF GLOSSOPDALE! NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE.”

The decision by the Council to partner with the Trust brings this vision a step closer to reality.

The next step is to look at funding options for the project and, with this in mind, we have created a joint project board comprising key members of the Trust working alongside HPBC to develop a bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund, and to explore other avenues for funding the project.

“These buildings are in desperate need of development, and we are keen to work with the community, and with current occupants to create a facility that benefits both them and the wider community of Glossop”, explains Duncan Wright, Chair of the Glossopdale Trust. “Our vision is to exploit the commercial opportunities presented by the Municipal Buildings and to work with the current occupants in the market to create a vibrant retail destination, integrating arts and crafts into an expanded high quality market, owned and run by the traders. We can then utilise the economic benefits realised by this plan to support the less commercially orientated community aspects of the complex.

The final part of the plan is to develop the currently derelict Town Hall into a modern, inviting community space that can be used for a wide variety of activities including music and drama performances, exhibitions, weddings, parties and other community events.”

The Trust is keen to engage with all members of the Glossop community on this project and anyone interested in getting involved, or wanting further information on the Trust’s plans for the Glossop Halls can contact The Glossopdale Trust via the website www.glossopdaletrust.org or email Duncan personally on duncan@glossopdaletrust.org.

Spring Update 2014

Posted on by bsa_mar

It’s been quieter over the last few months, not surprising as most of our activity (Art in the Window & Bankswood happen at the back end of the summer),  but nonetheless there has been a lot going on behind the scenes, and things are starting to build momentum again as spring kicks in. Not least with the Glossop Halls project, but more of that later.

Bankswood Inspire Festival

One of the notable developments over the past few months is that Bankswood has joined forces with the Inspire festival to create a great family friendly community music festival. The combined event will take place on the August Bank holiday weekend in Bankswood Park, Hadfield.

Those living around Bankswood park will also be pleased to know that one result of this merger will be that the fairground at the festival will be (quite literally) much smaller this year!

Tour de France comes to Glossop (well almost!)

We are delighted to be involved with an event around the Tour de France’s visit to the area. Although the cyclists will not be coming through our town, the plan is to create a spectator hub in Manor Park on the 6th July (alongside Glossop’s annual Carnival) with giant screens for people to watch the race.

As part of this event, Bankswood Music (part of the Glossopdale Trust) is planning to put on a number of bands in Manor Park. Keep an eye on the Bankswood Music website (www.bankswoodmusic.com) for more details of this event as they become available.

Whatsoninglossop.com

We are also happy to say that we have recruited a new editor for www.whatsoninglossop.com. In the last couple of weeks, the management of the site has been taken over by Paul Beaumont, who will now be responsible for making sure the site is THE resource for finding out what’s going in in and around Glossopdale. If you have an event that you would like to promote on the site, either contact Paul on events@whatsoninglossop.org, or submit the event via the website.

Glossop halls

This project is also now starting to build momentum, and we are delighted to be able to announce that the Glossopdale Trust has now been named as the preferred partner for the transfer of 3 of Glossop’s iconic public halls (The Town Hall, Glossop Market and the Municipal Buildings) into community ownership.

We have a vision that these halls will become:

“A NEW CULTURAL & COMMERCIAL CENTRE FOR GLOSSOP  – OWNED  AND MANAGED BY AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY OF GLOSSOPDALE! NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE.”

The decision by the council to partner with us brings this vision a step closer to reality.

Anyone wanting to get more involved in this exciting project can either email us on info@glossopdaletrust.org, or contact us via the website
