Helston Old Cemetery Chapel Windows

Trevow Helston CIC is a new CIC whose aim is to promote, support and develop high-quality and aspirational creative arts and community engagement projects including theatre, dance, live music, spoken word, cultural workshops and participatory projects to benefit residents of and visitors to the South Kerrier area of Cornwall.

We have been granted a 30 year lease on the semi-derelict former cemetery chapel in Helston. We want to create a new, permanent, cultural, community facility by turning this disused site into a welcoming space promoting, supporting and developing high-quality and aspirational creative arts and community engagement projects to benefit residents of, and visitors to, the South Kerrier area. Boarded up windows; vandalised, unlocked doors; damp walls; a single electrical socket and; a rolling floor, render Helston Old Cemetery Chapel unusable for regular use by public. The following capital work would allow the chapel to be repurposed to ensure local residents and visitors have the opportunity to take part in cultural activity: replacement heritage, sustainable wood windows and doors; replacement recycled/reused flooring; installation of fit-for-purpose electrics; masonry improvements and; improvements to the roof and gutters.

The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on lowest compliant Tender.
