Bringing the community together

Lets support more community based projects and regenerate buildings and facilities aimed at bringing the community together, like The Ark Project on Cotham South Road, Kingsdown. This building is in a fantastic location and could be better used by the local community.

An independent trust is aiming to take over the development and eventual management of the building. The devloping vision of the project focuses on 3 areas, highlighted by the local community through recent consultation. 

1. A place for hospitality where people can connect and meet for food and drink.
2. A place that actively promotes local creativity
3. A place where the needs of our diverse community are met

The project is inspired by and is an expression of faith, seeking to serve the local community in responsive and innovative ways.

The project invites members of the community to contribute opinion and ideas to see how you would like The Ark Project developed. If you would like more information, would like to get more involved or can offer support, please contact info@openark.co.uk.

Why the contribution is important

This project is about bringing together a diverse and rich community, providing useful and hospitable community space. It could be a source for enabling many more community projects and ideas.

It would be great to see the Ark open for the local community to use in a flexible way.
