Following major refurbishment, St John’s Community Centre in Buglawton reopened in Spring 2017. Footfall is above expectations and wellbeing experiences are being met by ensuring activities suit the needs of the local community. Volunteers are the backbone of the centre and community activities are supported by over 30 willing volunteers across the parish, from other local churches and with encouraging support from residents who want to get involved and help. The list of activities taking place is huge and includes a school-run drop-in café serving free toast and drinks, dance and fitness classes, police surgeries and luncheon clubs. Ah-hoc hire is also available
