Access for All

Square Chapel Trust is committed to providing access for all. All users are of equal importance and this resource is for everyone in the community.

The Management Committee, staff and volunteers would welcome any suggestions for improvement in access. However, first please look at the list of our next priorities — and bear in mind that we are a small independent charity and every penny we spend first has to be raised!
