Under One Roof is a community heritage project based in and around St Mark’s Church in Shelton Stoke on Trent.
The aim of the project is to restore and conserve this important Edwardian building.
Under One Roof is funded by a major grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund with supporting funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, Staffordshire Historic Churches Trust, National Churches Trust, Whalley's Quarry and Edward Cadbury Charitable Trust.
Community Heritage activities include learning sessions, creative activities, talks, research and events which enable people to share and understand local heritage.
The project explores the history of migration into the area and those who came to work in the potteries, pits and steel works and more recent arrivals.
Loneliness is a big problem for a lot of us.
We ran a Wave Goodbye to Loneliness workshop in December and some Virtual Friendly Bench sessions earlier in 2021 online.
We would like to co-host regular sessions with other organisations in future.
Our neighbours PM training are working with us to design a bench for a Friendly Space in the churchyard where people can sit and chat and find out more about the project.
