Following a structural survey, we have been advised to close one of the rear extensions to York House. This housed “The Space” and an upper floor storage room.
Activities in the main building will continue as usual, although a few groups and events will be relocated to different rooms from their norm.
Visitors will see cones around the side pathway, but the rear entrance and grounds are still Ok to use for now.
AVAILABLE SPACE ALERT
One way of supporting the town’s own community centre is to become a member. Membership is free and open to anyone aged 18 years or over who has an MK11 postcode or a strong association with the town.
We are a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee with charitable objectives, the building and grounds are owned wholly by our members.
Members receive regular newsletters, are informed of our activities and are entitled to come to all members meetings such as the AGM. Members help to decide the future of York House Centre. Members elect the Trustees / Directors who run the centre and are entitled themselves to stand for election. An increased membership can help increase support from grant providers and official organisations to sustain and develop the centre.

Not everyone knows that York House Centre is owned by the community of Stony Stratford – YOU!
It’s a registered charity, a business registered with Companies House, and it is run by a volunteer management committee, and its main role is to hire out space for a great variety of community, arts, self-help, small commercial, private party, and charity groups and individuals.
Many of the activities in York House depend on volunteers, eg for the community larder/warm space, gardening and horticultural, stewarding town events such as Christmas Lanterns and Arts4All, and helping with coffee mornings or bar work for our many music and arts events.
Could YOU spare a few hours regularly or occasionally during the year? We’d love to hear from you. Contact us by email at info@york-house.org.uk or phone 01908 561075 to find out more.
