BUILDING FOR OUR FUTURE
At the heart of Stony Stratford
Every week, local residents visit York House for community groups, classes, live entertainment, wellbeing activities, meetings and events.
We are also proud to support initiatives including the Stony Stratford Community Larder and Stony in Bloom, helping strengthen our local community every day.
We receive no regular government funding. The future of York House depends on the continued support of our community.

WHY WE ARE FUNDRAISING
To secure York House, we must act now
As part of our Building for Our Future campaign, we have an ambitious fundraising target and need to raise £20,000 by December 2026 to contribute towards essential building works that will secure the future of York House Centre.
Specialist structural surveys have confirmed that a former stable block at the rear of the building has become unsafe. Unless action is taken, it could cause significant damage to the main building and essential facilities.
To secure the future of York House Centre, we must act now.
