Our Mission

Mission Statement

At Willsbridge Mill Community Refresh CIC, our mission is to protect, celebrate, and revitalise the historic Willsbridge Mill and its natural surroundings as a vibrant hub for community, heritage, and wellbeing. We are committed to creating inclusive spaces where people of all ages can connect with nature, enjoy cultural and educational activities, and support one another through shared experiences. 

As a not-for-profit community interest company, every step we take is driven by the values of sustainability, creativity, and accessibility. We reinvest our energy and resources back into the Mill and its grounds, ensuring they remain free, welcoming, and inspiring for future generations. 

Together with our volunteers, partners, and supporters, we aim to foster a sense of belonging, nurture local talent, and provide opportunities that strengthen community spirit while preserving the unique heritage of Willsbridge Mill.
