The Pelham

Who we are

The Pelham is a local Christian charity that enriches lives in real and diverse ways for our community in Sidley, Bexhill. The Pelham aims to benefit the community through our charitable activities & projects, and effective partnership working.

We do this through the running our victorian hotel as a community hub, with over 60 partner organisations, through our volunteer-led Coffee Lounge, our Counselling Service, youth work and our RunningSpace Suicide prevention project. Each week we see 500 people engage with our work by coming through the doors of The Pelham.
