Union Chapel Project

Who we are

Union Chapel is a unique multi award-winning performing arts venue, with a global reputation for international cultural events engaging diverse audiences. For 30+ years events have been our lifeblood and income, annually engaging 100,000+ visitors through 250 events.  

Union Chapel is more than a venue. A Grade I listed Gothic architectural jewel, it is also home to charities tackling homelessness, social justice, empowering local communities with creative groups, training and employability programmes for local communities. Profits from events substantially support our vital charitable work with local communities and we are a model of good practice for community engagement.  It is also the home to a working, progressive and inclusive church.  

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are working to become an organisation that is representative of our local community and want to recruit people from a range of backgrounds who reflect the diversity of our community. We particularly encourage applicants who are currently underrepresented in our board, workforce and wider sector. This includes but is not limited to candidates who identify as being from Black, Asian and other ethnic backgrounds from the global majority, and candidates who identify as being disabled. We also particularly welcome applicants with their own lived experiences of the challenges we aim to address.
