St Mark's - First the Life, then the Space, then the Buildings |
Three Quick Questions... Community Consultation
What’s this all about?
The St Mark’s congregation is seeking to transform our buildings on Drip Road to create a community space which is open and welcoming to all, and which helps to make life better in Raploch and Cornton.
I’m not a church member, what’s this got to do with me?
St Mark’s is for everyone, not just church members. We want to play our part in making Raploch and Cornton better places to live. If you want that, then we all want the same thing.
Why does St Mark’s want to do this?
St Mark’s is part of Chance to Thrive. That’s a Church of Scotland programme that begins with recognising and celebrating the many strengths and gifts which people and communities already have, and then building on these to help deal with the issues the community faces.
Yes, OK. But what can I do?
All we need for the moment are you opinions. That’s what we need so that we know as much as possible about what is important to local people. If we know that, then we will be better able to design the right building, and better able to persuade funders that this is needed. The more views we have, from more people and organisations, the better.
