We work  with the community on the following:

​

​Acton Arts Project has repurposed the Old Library building on Acton High Street into a sustainable two-screen cinema and café.  We  continue to welcome the community back into the building while maintaining the Passmore Edwards legacy and the heritage aspects of the setting.

We hope to build on our existing achievements, to continue to show excellent films but also to develop the potential of our shared spaces, forge stronger links to our community and play an active part in the regeneration of our high street.
