About Wellington Orbit
Founded in 2013 and operated by Clifton Community Arts Centre, Wellington Orbit is a community cinema and arts venue created to reduce loneliness and social isolation. Based in a former bank in the heart of Wellington, the venue hosts accessible film screenings, creative events and community activities for people of all ages. Its inclusive programme includes dementia-friendly screenings, sessions for adults with learning disabilities, events for older people and opportunities for local volunteers to develop skills and build connections.
Our Investment
Resonance invested £100,000 through the West Midlands SITR Fund to support the first phase of transforming a former bank into Wellington Orbit's community cinema and arts centre. The investment helped complete essential refurbishment works, creating a welcoming space where people can come together through arts, culture and community activities.
Our Impact
The investment helped establish a vibrant community hub that brings people together through accessible arts and cultural experiences. Today, Wellington Orbit provides inclusive activities that help reduce loneliness, strengthen community connections and create volunteering opportunities, with around 30 local volunteers supporting the cinema, events and café while developing new skills and confidence.
