CHAP aims to create a coherent identity for Downend (we include Emersons Green in this), built around interesting or significant places, people and events from the past, and to share this with the local community through arts, publications, music and events.  

Our goal is to build a sense of belonging and commitment to Downend, an understanding of its character, residents, businesses and visitors, and to enhance social cohesion between people of all ages and backgrounds through enjoyable and inclusive activities.
