Share Offer Launch
Our Community Share Offer will be officially launched on Saturday 24th May. This will allow individuals and organisations to buy shares in The Amulet Centre Limited and raise a target of £200,000 towards the purchase and reopening of the building.
Unlike traditional investments, community shares offer people a stake – and a say – in enterprises that exist to serve the public good. Investors become members and co-owners of the enterprise, with a democratic voice in how it’s run, whilst making a meaningful difference locally.
New Funding Available
A number of new public funds were announced in April 2025, which with money to be raised by the share offer, should together be enough to buy and reopen the Amulet.
The Heritage Revival Fund is one of the new public funds which we are applying for. It has been created to “help communities across England rescue and repurpose neglected historic buildings and will do this by supporting community organisations to take ownership of, adapt and reuse the local heritage assets that matter to them, transforming them into thriving spaces that meet their needs. The programme will focus on regenerating historic buildings in town centre locations.”
Summer Pop-Up Events
The share offer will be accompanied by a summer programme of open days and pop-up events including cinema, theatre and live performance. We have temporary access to the ground floor of the building where we are constructing an exhibition gallery, 60 seat auditorium and a cafe bar.
