They cover a wide variety of things. I would see them as buildings that exist for the benefit of the community; usually operated by the community; sometimes owned by the community. That has narrowed it down a little, but for the purposes of this project I will be looking at church halls, village halls and churches themselves.
Hill Street Baptist 20th October 2010 hosting a voluntary sector funding fair. Attended by community groups looking to identify funders who may be able to support the development of their project.

The two squares just made me smile, both so different, both a little tired and both still used.

Did you know that the modern game of basketball was developed by Dr. James Naismith? While teaching physical education at the international YMCA training school, he was given the task of creating a new indoor sports activity that was skill rather than strength based. So, not quite such a surprise to find a basketball hoop in the Chapel hall.
The walls really are a pinkish hue. What struck me more was the geometric shapes formed by the panelling, the backboard to the hoop and the plaque commemorating the year the chapel was built. Lighting was difficult - electric light overhead with srong natural light coming in through the windows.
