Our community deserves better.

More community, more positivity, more well-being, more employment, more youth space, more hospitality. In short more life and love. The buildings are well used but are stretched; this project will provide the “more” that our community need and deserve.

Thank You!

Our vision

Our vision is that St. Peter's Shared Church buildings in Bellfields become versatile, welcoming spaces, fostering interaction and cohesion for all people in our community. We want to create a dynamic community hub, open daily, with a specific focus on building friendships, hospitality, health (especially mental health), youth engagement, adult employability, developing individual agency and access to an expanded Oak Café and community food pantry. Community events and activities are also planned, supported by a strong volunteer base to ensure daily accessibility.

Currently, the site hosts diverse activities open to all, including exercise classes, youth groups, debt management advice, relationship courses, over-55s club, café, toddler group, cooking courses, and a community pantry. However, the buildings’ current layout limit the full potential.

We have full planning permission for a set of projects so we can achieve the buildings’ latent potential.

How are we getting on?

We are pleased to announce that your fund surrey has approved and given us a very generous £850,000! Combined with numerous other extremely generous donations, this building project has become a reality! The Welcome Area project includes a vaulted, glass-roofed atrium that will house the Oak Café and community pantry. This space will also serve as the main entrance, hospitality area, workspace, and ensure wheelchair-friendly access throughout.

In addition, we will need to raise further funds to complete all the buildings’ other renovations and cover professional fees to date. So far, we have raised £375,000 towards this and will be prioritising new accessible kitchen and toilets next.
