IMPart is an independent establishment purely run by volunteers and managed through a committee . Our main stream of income derives from the hire of the hall. Alternative funding is used for the continuous improvement of the building, operational structure and service provision.

IMPart offers a welcoming and friendly place to meet, engage and support creative individuals and groups of the whole community. On Tuesdays, 10.30-15.00, IMPart is open to maintain all aspects of running the organisation, allowing visitors to pop in for a cup of tea or coffee and members to use the hall to work on their artwork.

In 2000, St. Botolph's Church Hall was a neglected and derelict building, standing empty for 13 years. The founding members of IMPart saw the potential for the refurbishment of the hall and the future use for a creative community space so they set about the complicated task of getting it back into shape.

Most of the first few years were spent to transform the hall into a useable centrally heated venue with disabled access and facilities. By October 2005 the refurbishment reached a standard that allowed IMPart to reopen the doors to the public. Since then IMPart has continuously grown into a vibrant community arts space, and seeks to constantly investigate areas of development, improvement, refurbishing of its existing building and services to advance and enhance its range of service provision.
