Imagine a place where community spirit thrives, where creativity is nurtured, and where people of all ages find a sense of belonging. That place is here at Bellfield – our vibrant community hub at the heart of Portobello, owned and run by the community through Action Porty.

Now, you have the chance to be part of its future by investing in the first-ever community share issue in Portobello.

Action Porty is launching a community share issue to raise between £100,000 and £300,000 to transform Bellfield’s Celebration Hall into a flexible, accessible, and energy-efficient space. This transformation will meet growing community demand for different-sized spaces, improve accessibility, and ensure long-term financial sustainability.

By purchasing community shares, you won’t just be investing in a building – you’ll be investing in the social, cultural, and economic heart of Portobello.

Action Porty has a proven track record of community success. From being the first urban community in Scotland to use the Community Right to Buy to establishing popular initiatives such as the Community Café, Action Porty has consistently delivered on its promises. Now, we need your support to take Bellfield to the next level.
