Friends of RSH Hospital Chapel is a registered charity no 3115976. The Friends are working with owner of the grade II Victorian Hospital Chapel, NHS Southampton City.
The chapel fell into disuse and remained closed for about 12 years. The charity intends to raise funds to repair and conserve the building and to install modern lighting and fire alarms, a DDA compliant lift, kitchen and toilet. This will enable the building to be used as a community resource. There will be opportunities for exibitions and displays promoting a healthy lifestyle and well being in a socially deprived area of the city; public service utilities will use the facilities for crime prevention, home fire precautions and first aid training etc. the charity will build close working relationships with local schools giving an input resource on Victorian family values, healthcare and social practices. The chapel will also be used for corporate events such as a book launch, poetry readings and PowerPoint presentations.
The charity operates with 9 trustee/directors each of whom has a wide range of background skills [fundraising, directors of businesses, site management of commercial buildings, management in the NHS, public service, health and safety and education].
