Update on The Bell

Community Share Offer Now Open

January 23, 2026

Last night marked the official launch of our community share offer for the Bell at Iden at Iden Village Hall. Thank you to everyone who came along to hear the update and ask questions.

The share offer is now open. You can now apply for shares or make a donation via our website: https://bellatiden.com/

Many people kindly gave an indicative pledge when the Community Benefit Society was set up. Now that the share offer is open we would encourage anyone who did so to consider turning that early support into a formal application when they are ready.

For those who prefer not to apply online, you can complete a paper application or donation using one of the share offer leaflets that were recently delivered around the village. Additional copies of the leaflet are available from Iden Village Stores, Church Lane, Iden.

For anyone who would like help completing the forms, either online or on paper, we will be holding drop-in support sessions at:

The Old Hall, Church Lane, Iden
Monday 26 January, 2pm – 4pm
Tuesday 27 January, 2pm – 4pm

Further updates will be provided as the share offer progresses. Thank you again for the continued interest and support.
