Building Work at the Meeting House

Due for completion January 2024

Changes being made:

• Safer step-free access from Styles Way, with a new front gate.
• An extension at the back, providing a welcoming entrance foyer and corridor with level access to all rooms.
• Doing essential repairs to the historic listed building, including damp-proofing.
• Making the building more energy efficient by adding sustainable heating and soundproofing.
• Adding two new small rooms, in addition to the two current large rooms. All will be available to hire by Friends and local community groups, organisations and individuals.
• Improvements to the garden, including space to plant two new trees.
• And we are still fund-raising!

Open hearts, open minds

Quakers try to live in truth, peace, simplicity and equality, finding God in ourselves and in those around us.  Our meetings for worship offer a welcoming opportunity for spiritual exploration.
