A community hub is set to take over a vacant church hall in Cardiff. Permission has been granted for the Salvation Army church building in Cathays to be transformed into a hub providing community facilities and office space.
The building on May street in Cathays has been vacant for three years - "due to the lack of demand for its existing use" as a place of worship, the application form reads. The planning proposal, which has been approved by Cardiff Council, proposes to convert the building from a church hall to a community hub for all the Cardiff Outreach Services provided by the Salvation Army.
Due to the building's "significant historic importance" there will be no structural alterations made to the building, the design and access statement reads. The hub will offer a place for community celebrations and activities, and will also offer food bank vouchers.
