Who this task will support
Bombed Out Church
Since 2007 the church has been operating as a managed ruin and multidisciplinary arts venue with a programme of curated events, community engagement and creative learning projects. A gateway building within the city, crucial to both its past and present, the Bombed Out Church is a place for everyone. ​

St Luke’s Church, known locally as the ‘Bombed Out Church’, suffered catastrophic damage during the May Blitz of 1941, leaving only its external masonry standing. Overgrown and inaccessible, the site lay derelict for over 60 years, before being cleared, and transformed by a series of cultural events, reopening the space to the public.

Today, 80 years later, the church has become an iconic arts venue and community space. Following a series of innovative installations within St Luke’s, it was reopened to the public in 2007, and has since played host to a phenomenal range of arts and cultural events, as well as community and wellbeing activities

We will be supporting this beloved local heritage site by assisting with maintenance, including staining tables used for events, and litter picking.

All tools will be provided but please bring your own gloves! And be aware of the risks to clothing/shoes when staining - don't wear your best gear! Task Location: https://w3w.co/villa.gaps.odds
