Steel Street Community Building

Welcome to Steel Street, where Building Self-Belief is proud to introduce our very own community building, right in the heart of Consett.  

We are truly delighted to be able to continue Steel Street’s legacy as a community space for the people of Consett. The renovation was long overdue, and our goal was to create not just a functional building, but the very best space possible, a place our community can be proud of.

Thank you to our supporters
