Conniburrow Community Centre

Posted on 10th March 2022 at 17:01

Following the court proceeding between the Landlord Milton Keynes Council and Conniburrow Community Association, Great Linford Parish Council has been offered the opportunity to manage the Centre.

There are several things to sort out, but we wish to open the doors and welcome groups back to the centre as soon as possible.

The football club will hopefully be back playing at Conniburrow provided the rain stops and the pitches dry out - that’s the only thing stopping them finishing their season.

We have been approached by many groups who have shown an interest in running activities and sessions from the Centre. We are working with all of these groups to ensure as many as possible have a base to carry out their bingo, coffee sessions, prayer, cadets, health advice, housing advice .

Our website and Facebook will be updated with information, but if you are interested in hiring or working with GLPC or other community groups please get in touch at glpc@great-linford.gov.uk

Volunteers - We Need You

Posted on 3rd February 2022 at 16:55

Just Be Wellbeing Cafe

Conniburrow

Wednesdays, 10.30am-2pm

The volunteer roles are open to people who are committed to serving our community and supporting the wellbeing of individuals. A basic outline of the roles are below. We hope that volunteers will be able to move between the kitchen and Cafe floor roles on a rota basis (though if a volunteer prefers to remain in on role that is fine too).

We are looking for people who are able to offer their skills, talents, hobbies and passions in our craft activities. We would welcome a range of different crafts from knitting and henna painting, to jewellery and model making. It would be great to offer our community the opportunity to be creative and experience the sense of peace and achievement that brings. The volunteers for the craft activities would bring their expertise in the area and share that with visitors to Just Be Wellbeing Cafe.
