Community at St John’s Park

A place to meet, eat, talk, and belong

Our building is used throughout the week by neighbours, local organisations, and community groups. Some people come for practical support, some come for company, and some come because this is simply a good place to be.

Mondays from 10am

Community Hub

On Mondays from 10am the church is open for the Community Hub. There is tea and coffee, a foodbank, and space to chat or simply sit for a while. Local partners also join us for drop-ins, including Citizens Advice, Help for Heroes, and Guinness Housing. You are welcome to come for the bit that is useful to you, or to stay for the morning.
