Patients, staff and local residents are being asked to help shape the future of the historic chapel at Bronllys Hospital as plans are developed to restore the Grade II listed building.

Powys Teaching Health Board has launched a public survey as it explores opportunities to secure external funding for a refurbishment of the chapel.

The health board wants to hear from patients, staff, families, local residents, faith groups and community organisations about how they would like the building to be used in future.

The chapel is intended to become a shared, multi-purpose space that welcomes people of all faiths while also providing a place for reflection, pastoral care, wellbeing activities and wider community use.

Feedback gathered through the survey will be used to help shape the chapel's future role and strengthen funding applications for the refurbishment project.

The chapel was built in 1920 as part of the South Wales Tuberculosis Sanatorium and was designed in the Arts and Crafts style by architects Edwin T. Hall and Stanley Hall.

It has served generations of patients, visitors and staff as a place of worship, reflection and support. The chapel and surrounding hospital parkland remain part of the historic hospital site and are owned by the health board.

The health board said: “We would like to understand how patients, staff, families, local residents, faith groups and community organisations would like the chapel to be used in the future.

“The chapel is intended to serve as a respectful shared, multi-purpose space welcoming and including all faiths; supporting reflection, religious and spiritual activities, pastoral services, wellbeing and wider community-linked activities in keeping with the health board’s values.

“Your feedback will help demonstrate the need for the project, shape the chapel's future use, and support funding applications.”

The survey is open until September 30 at: www.haveyoursaypowys.wales/chapel
