St John’s Business and Community Centre offers a unique setting for meetings, staff training, conferences and Annual General Meetings.

The centre’s facilities can accommodate meetings of less than 10 through to a maximum of 150, from small gatherings to larger events such as public exhibitions and consultation events.

This project also included the demolition of a Second World War air raid shelter which had reached the end of its useful life. On the same site and attached to the existing Church a new two storey shelter for the homeless was created.

The shelter provides first floor overnight accommodation to sleep 10 people with a fully equipped kitchen, showers and WCs. At ground floor the building adjoins the west end gable of the grade 2 listed St. John’s Church and extends to form community facilities for the Church.
