What happens when you start by asking the community what it needs?

At St John the Divine in Fishponnds, Family Club has grown by listening to the people who come through the doors. What began as a simple Wednesday afternoon gathering for local families has developed into a busy community space shaped by the people who use it.

With crafts, snacks, gardening and plenty of time to get to know one another, Family Club has become a place where local people can meet, connect and help shape what happens next.
