© 2012 Norden Community Trust      Registered Charity No.1122737 Registered Company No. 6403220

In July 2007 the Norden Community Trust was set up by a group of local people with the aim of preserving the former Norden library building for  the community. The aim was not only to preserve the building but to provide a facility which would benefit the community and also be sustainable for many years.

Norden Community Trust was successful in purchasing a 125 year lease for the building from Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council on the 3rd April 2009.

Norden Community Trust is registered as a charity and a company limited by guarantee. It is also referred to as “Norden Old Library”.

We are a NON PROFIT MAKING organisation and rely on donations, grants, rent  and nominal room fees  to cover the provision of  facilities and building maintenance costs.
