Bellfield (community centre)

Bellfield is a community centre located in what was previously Portobello Old Parish Church, a Georgian church of classical design located in Bellfield (formerly Melville) Street, Portobello, Edinburgh, Scotland.

[6] Residents in Portobello were asked to back the first urban community buy-out under new Scottish Government legislation.

The Friends of Bellfield aimed to provide a continuing home for a wide range of groups which have been based in the building as well as developing it for other community activities.

[7] Since the community buyout, many local businesses have used the facilities, including Action Porty and the Edinburgh Youth Theatre company.

In 2017 the project was awarded £600,000 from the Scottish Land Fund, which allowed Save Bellfield to purchase the building[2]
