Woodstock Rd / Machon Bank (off Abbeydale Rd), S7 1GR Common Ground is a charity set up by local volunteers to use St Peter’s Hall as an active community space. We want it to be a vibrant place that creates a sense of community and enables local people to come together for a variety of fun activities and events. If you require a public space or know

anyone who might be interested, please spread the word about this fantastic hub of the community. Or if you can help in any way (volunteering, spreading the word, donating etc.) please get in touch by phone or posting on our page. Local volunteers have worked hard to preserve the site as a community space since 2004. The Church has granted Common Ground a 25-year lease (from November 2012) to maintain the site and promote our community. We are always looking for new ways to use the hall and grounds.

Could you help us protect the site by giving up some of your time?We always need people to help spread the word and spark interest in the site. For the green-fingered, you could help us maintain the grounds. And we have a friendly gardening group if you’d like to learn how to grow your own vegetables.We could always do with a hand cleaning and keeping the hall up to scratch. We’d really appreciate local tradesmen and handymen helping us with general maintenance and odd jobs. Call: 0759 4488894

Our annual groundskeeping day is TOMORROW 26th October and we’d appreciate any and all volunteers!

You can turn up anytime between 10am and 3pm and there will be a range of big and small jobs to help out with. We'll be trimming back the shrubs, weeding, clearing, cutting and litter picking, all to keep our green space looking nice and well maintained, ready for winter!

We will provide gloves and tools but sturdy footwear needed. Kids welcome but would need to be supervised.

We always need a hand so if you can help out please come down!
