Vital community space could be "lost forever" in Bristol without enough funding

A community space is at serious risk of closure if it fails to secure enough funding from the people of Bristol.

Zion Community Art Space in Bedminster Down has provided a lifeline for thousands of residents in the local area for the past 15 years. Occupying a former Methodist Chapel, the building has been a bustling hub serving the community for 120 years in total.

The last service was held in 2008, leaving the building derelict until it was completely transformed by the current owner Jess Wright back in 2011, reviving it into a landmark in BS13 for people of all ages and backgrounds. But as she has now decided to sell up, Jess is offering the community the opportunity to purchase this privately-owned building and save the space for future community use.
