Romsey Mill

The Romsey Mill is a youth and community centre located in Romsey Town, Cambridge, England. The Romsey Mill Trust [ [http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/registeredcharities/showcharity.asp?regno=1069905 Charity Commission – Romsey Mill Trust] ] was established as a charity in 1980 by a group of local churches to work with young people and families from a wide variety of backgrounds, especially those experiencing significant disadvantages.

The inspiration for the Romsey Mill came from Peter Phenna, vicar of St Martin's Church, who together with four other churches in the area agreed to convert the redundant Romsey Methodist Chapel into a community building. The Mill's patrons are: Anthony Russell, Bishop of Ely, Hugh Dubley, Lord Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire and Colin Greenhalgh, CBE.

Typically around 1000 people a week have direct contact with the activities of the Mill. Its main activities are the transitions (primary to secondary school), under fives, young parents, social inclusion, and aspire (young people with autism) programmes.

Re-dedication

The Romsey Mill Centre was reopened in February 2007 following its redevelopment. It was officially dedicated at a special service by Dr John Sentamu, Archbishop of York, on 29 May 2007. [ [http://www.romseymill.org/pages/news.asp Romsey Mill – News] ]
