Our Community Space
Our Community Space is open twice a month, on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday from 10.30am – 3.30pm. It is a place for visitors and members of the wider community to come together in solidarity to experience rest, creativity and joy.
The space is held at St John Vianney Church Centre, on West Green Road. It is drop-in and free to all. Everyone is welcome, including children and babies. Every session we run craft activities and chair yoga. We cook a hot shared meal with a meat and vegan options, served alongside rice, mixed vegetables and salad.
Additionally, we organise information workshops for migrant communities, on topics selected by our visitors. All are drop-in, with no need to book in advance.
