ABOUT?

Securing Glusburn Institute for the future...

Glusburn Institute was founded over 130 years ago, by mill owner Sir John Horsfall. Fast forward to the present day, we are still staying true Sir John's vision of providing a wellbeing and cultural venue for the local community.

​

We are embarking on an ambitious but essential project to complete a programme of work on the building to safeguard its future, make accessibility improvements, renovate key areas to ensure its prosperity and longevity and secure a building which is of historical and architectural significance.

​

With this in mind, we ask for your help. As we go forward into planning the project, we need your support. You can help by either donating what you can via our crowdfunder at the 'donate' button, or write a few words of support via the form below.
