Current
Currently, the Trust has two organisations that are using the building to provide services and facilities for the community.
Ground Floor
On the Ground Floor - Our Space Community Centre & Library operated by the charity Bethphage.
Our Space provides opportunities, activities and support for two groups.
Ellesmere Opportunities Group which provides daytime opportunities for adults with learning disabilities
​
Ellesmere Friendship Group provides weekday respite and social opportunities for local people with support needs.
In December 2022, volunteers in Ellesmere set up a Food and Warm Clothes Sharing Project for those who need a helping hand. In January 2023 the Food Bank moved into "Our Space" and is still being run for the good of those in the local community who are struggling to feed themselves and their families. 40 volunteers staff it and it is open for 4 sessions on different days every week. The food comes in as donations from generous local individuals and businesses. The project is a huge asset to our town.
Our Space also houses Ellesmere Library which not only contains books for all interests and ages, but in addition, is a place to find a whole host of community based information and guidance.
First Floor
On the First Floor – Churchmere Medical Group, who run the General Practice Doctors Surgery in the adjacent building, operate the Churchmere Annexe as an additional administrative facility and clinical consulting/therapy rooms.
