Improve fire safety by replacing fire doors and improving escape routes from the Building. To replace non fire safe upholstery in the building.
Fire Doors & Escape Routes: At the recent fire inspection it transpired that whilst our fire doors were previously compliant with regulations these have been superseded. The safety of our Users being paramount, we need to upgrade/replace at least five of our firedoors and some evacuation routes to comply with current regulations regarding emergency evacuation. Seating: Similarly some of our seating is no longer fire compliant and this needs to be replaced to ensure the safety of our Users.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Upgrading fire safety standards in our Building is an absolute necessity and will ensure the safety & enjoyment of the facilities by our users. This appeal will help us to keep our Community Centre open and keep room hiring rates as low as possible. It will help to promote the use of our facilities for the widest possible range of of activities and leisure pursuits including exercise class for all ages, Village Markets, Blood Donation, COVID vaccination clinics, Mother & Baby classes, U3A, Rotary and warm spaces as well as charitable events. It also helps isolated people combat loneliness. Our facility also helps to improve volunteering opportunities. Tarporley Community Centre helps to improve local democracy as Tarporley Parish Council hold meetings and consultation events . The Arts Society Tarporley, Tarporley and District Flower Club and Tarporley Amateur Dramatic Society also meet in our venue.
Steps to get it done:
Our recent fire risk assessment highligted areas of concern which need to be addressed as an urgent need so that our building meets current Fire Safety Standards and is a safe venue for users. Tarporley Community Centre is the village hub for local, social, civic and national events such as elections. We will also be the local emergency centre such this need ever arise.

VolunteerTarporley Community Centre is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with 10 volunteer trustees who run the Centre and ajoining field. We have a large hall, small hall and two rooms which can be hired by individuals and organisations. Our Main Hall holds a maximun of 160 and is very suitable for Birthday, Christening and other parties. It is equipped with a stage, an audio visual system, stage lighting and supported by a kitchen and toilets. Access is DDA compliant. The Amateur Dramatics group hold plays twice a year, and many local organisations such as the Arts Society Tarporley, Flower Club and U3A hold regular meetings. The Rotary Club holds monthly market and shows monthly films. Exercise and Dance groups meet weekly and Charity Fund Raisers are regularly heldS. The smaller hall and the two rooms are hired by smaller groups, often related to U3A special interests. The Army Cadets are long term users of the smaller hall and benefit from having an office and storage area.
We have a continual commitment to improving our factiliites and over the last few years we have replaced our roof, updated the toilet facilities and improved the acoustics of our two largest rooms.
This project will help to make us a safer place for people to hire as we will be adhering to the current fire safety standards. Being successful with this application will mean that we can continue to spend on our program of improvements to make us more environmentally sustainable and serve the Community in the best possible way.
