02 Activities

What the charity does

Following the decision of Birmingham Diocese in 2010 to close St Catherines Church some residents proposed that they manage and maintain the building to avoid the loss of a vital village amenity built in 1879 as the local school. They became the hall's first Trustees which is now widely used for community meetings and events, various classes, groups, parties and as the local polling station.
