VOICES FROM OUR COMMUNITY
Parent, child attends Green Kids Club
“As a working family, having a free club that is local and easy to access after school is incredibly valuable. It provides a safe, fun, and educational environment for the children while removing financial barriers for families.Most importantly, the club has helped build their confidence, encouraged them to try new things, and given them experiences they genuinely look forward to. We are very grateful for everything the club offers and the positive impact it continues to have on our children.”

How we make it happen
Grand Junction’s programme spans community, arts, heritage and free access – each funded in part by the generosity of donors and through fundraising.

The building that makes it all possible.
St Mary Magdalene’s is one of the UK’s finest Victorian neo-Gothic churches, which today serves as a working church, multi-arts venue, heritage asset and a community anchor.
