St Peter’s Centre Creates Fabulous Arts Alive Venue



St Peter’s Centre creates fabulous Arts Alive venue

Communion’s work has been showcased as part of a promotional video for ‘Arts Alive’. This amazing organisation uses the arts to bring communities together across Herefordshire and Shropshire.

Two of Communion’s projects are featured as part of the film. It is amazing to see formerly cold, underused buildings transformed into vibrant community spaces, which bring people together.

Sian Kerry from Art’s Alive loves the venue.

“the conversion is absolutely stunning and the church makes a fabulous venue for live performance. Peterchurch is far and away the most inspiring community space I have worked in over the two counties, I love the quality of design and materials – and with such a dynamic vicar there to make it come alive it’s a great combination.”

Communion was formed to provide a place where space, design and people meet. This film shows the very real difference our work makes to the lives of individuals and whole communities across the country. To see how we can transform buildings to bring life to whole communities, take a look at the film at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBwK-G2LiAc

Communion Wins Bid to Work with Sir Christopher Wren.

Communion was delighted to win a bid to design a master plan for The Sir John Moore Foundation, working in partnership with Broadway Malyan Architects. The submission proposes a new learning landscape for the Foundation’s site in Stafford. The Foundation is unique, combining a Primary School, Visitor Centre and Community Venue, all housed in a 17th Century, Grade 1 listed school building, originally designed by Sir Christopher Wren. The master plan looks to the future by proposing a new building in the grounds of the school, providing additional classrooms, a sports hall and further community spaces. The new and existing buildings will be set in a landscape for learning and will undergo a series of conservation and restoration projects as part of the £4,000,000 scheme. We will keep you posted on progress. Click here to find out more about the Foundation.

Royal Visit for Communion.

The Duke of Gloucester visited St Peter’s, Peterchurch. This was the first time one of our projects has received a Royal Visit and the Duke clearly appreciated the architecture, which has transformed the church into a thriving community space. The important role St Peter’s plays within the local community was demonstrated on the day with all the community groups who use the building present in the nave, creating a packed venue. The Duke’s visit confirmed once again the national significance of this project and it was an encouraging endorsement for all those involved in transforming the church and running it day-to-day.
