Our Aim
To be a useful and welcoming community Space, that will create opportunities to bring people together and strengthen the spirit of this scattered community.
How have we been doing?
Our village church is now a useful community Space that is open daily. its facilities are user-friendly and fully accessible. By opening up the space for multifunction use, the adjacent school can now use the area for assemblies and other pupil/parent gatherings, concerts, drama, PE and dance. Events like our annual village Festival and Ceilidh are vital to the health of a community. Other events such as music, art, concerts, exhibitions, Flicks-in-the-Sticks, lunch clubs, cross generation teas and other gathering opportunities are welcome too
What is our immediate goal?
What plans lie ahead?
We intend to create a Community Room with independant access. The arches of the vestry will be glazed and sound proof, and the vestry entrance will be made accessible for all. It is particularly useful that the Housing Association homes are just a short walk away. Families walk past daily going to the school next door, so the church has become a natural gathering place.
How will we achieve this?
We have currently raised over £300,000. Our first phase, to lay the oak floor and underfloor heating, was finished in 2019.
With YOUR help, SPACE brings new opportunities to the scattered village of Suckley, a community space large enough and with all the necessary facilities to enable gathering. This valued listed building a user friendly resource
