Our vision for The Kingsley Holt Centre is to provide an accessible place to meet and socialise in a venue that is welcoming and inclusive to all ages offering a range of activities and events that will address loneliness and isolation, especially for the elderly, disabled and young families and improve social cohesion within the community.
We aim to:
Source, support and maintain social community space within the village of Kingsley Holt, Staffordshire for the benefit of present and future members of the community.
Our objectives are:
1. To be a not-for-profit enterprise owned by the community for the benefit of the community.
2. To address social isolation through the provision of a dedicated meeting place that supports social interaction and is accessible and welcoming to all. Which will enhance quality of life and improve community cohesion for residents of the village and wider community.
3. To preserve and maintain the former Chapel building as part of the villages building heritage, whilst seeking to continually improve its carbon footprint.
4. To establish a ‘village hub’ through acquiring an asset adjacent to our outdoor recreation space, enabling us to support healthy lifestyles and a more sustainable community infrastructure ‘hub’. Thus, supporting a 15 minute neighbourhood, providing a multi-purpose community space.
5. To operate the Society in an ethical, responsible, and sustainable way for the benefit of the local community and invest profits back into the community.
6. To engage and grow our community volunteers to provide supportive services to the community and provide an opportunity for younger residents to develop skills and experience, vital to obtaining a first job or university place.
7. To co-operate with third party bodies, businesses and projects in the community to mutually enhance an easily accessible hub for activities and services in Kingsley Holt and for the whole community.
