Trial blog site for George Street Chapel

The Stage 2 submission to the HLF was submitted today by Age Concern Oldham to secure funds to restore the former Independent Methodist Chapel at George Street, Oldham.
The project will hear if it has been successful after the next HLF-NW trustees meeting on 2 December, 2011.
We propose a web presence supported by web site, Facebook site and a blog particularly for the Friends of George Street. To demonstrate what this might look like we set up a trial site for the Community Development Co-ordinator. Link to the Trial blog site for George Street Chapel restoration project.
A link to the project sites will follow.
Some £300,000 is needed in match funding, the organ alone requires a total of £70,000 to complete its refurbishment.
