Friends of St John's Community Survey
Hi All,
Friends of St John's would love to hear your views on how our historic church building can best meet the needs of the people of Bromsgrove and visitors to our town. The ancient and historic building is here for all the town's people and is available for use by the general community for projects and events, as well as being used for worship.
As part of our ongoing development we are launching our Heritage Future Appeal. Our Grade I listed building has been standing at the heart of Bromsgrove for hundreds of years, so it needs ongoing maintenance and restoration to preserve the heritage. Additionally, we are looking to the future - how can this wonderful building best serve the people and community? This is where you come in - if you currently use the building a lot, a little, or not at all we want to hear your views.
For almost 1000 years the church has been a space for gathering and friendship; it has been a market place and a space for shelter; it is an auditorium for music and the arts; it is a sanctuary in times of sadness; uplifting in times of joy and celebration; it is used as a venue for the spoken word, exhibitions and performance; a space where school groups, civic organisations and traditional groups gather. The church is all these things and more, but how can we best make the building work for all the different purposes?
Please do take a few moments to share your thoughts with us.
Many thanks
The Friends of St John's Team
