Thanks for calling in to the Little Chapel website!
It is our intention that you will find
lots of information about our aspirations for this lovely building during your
stay with us!
We also hope that your visit here
rekindles memories of old - especially if you are viewing this site from abroad!
Unfortunately, the Little Chapel is in
need of complete refurbishment, as time and the weather have taken their toll on
the physical fabric of the building.
Nevertheless, we have huge hopes for
the future.
Under the umbrella of Orrell Community
Initiatives (see
the OCI website), a group of people have joined forces raise
funds to protect the Little Chapel from further deterioration, renovate it and
finally ensure that it is used once again by members of the local community.
A 'Restoration
Fund' has now been set up by
those at Orrell Community Initiatives who appreciate the value of saving this
excellent piece of heritage for future generations.
A new and brighter future for the
Little Chapel was the inspiration of Josie McCabe, who also played a big part in the
successful development of the OCI Hub-Nub Centre.
Josie has managed to enrol the support
and assistance of others in her campaign to restore the Little Chapel, and
hopefully, the OCI will have successfully negotiated a 25 year lease of the
building during the summer of 2002.
This will pave the way for
further fundraising activities, and more importantly will enable members of OCI
to concentrate on proposals to provide a sustainable use for the building
throughout the duration of the 25 year lease.
The Little Chapel, April
2002
