Touchstone - Annual Review & Fund Raising

The Annual Review 2012 is now available for download (pdf).

Fund Raising

On 7th March 2012 Touchstone finally completed the purchase of the former McRory’s Bar, 4 Easby Road, Bradford. This will enable the vision of weaving a listening community to become a reality. The project to purchase and refurbish the new premises will cost £950,000. Touchstone has already sourced nearly £450,000 of this but your help is needed in securing the remaining £500,000. Your donations or pledges of £5, £50, £500, £5,000 ... or more! will be gratefully received.

What will McRory’s provide for Touchstone ?

In the basement of the building will be a kitchen/hospitality space and creative arts area, where stories can be told and heard. The ground floor will be the administrative hub with office space for staff and other users and a Meet & Greet area. A conference suite will be located on the first floor with screens to make smaller rooms, offering a whole range of new opportunities. The second floor will be a 'listening room' that looks out across the city – this will be dedicated space for worship, quiet reflection and intentional listening - including group work with children and students. All floors will be fully accessible.

Calverley's Young Potters

The children of the Charlie Wesley Craft and Cooking Club, and a couple of Dads too, turned their hand to pottery, when we created the animals that went into the Ark. The figures were air-dried then fired to bisque, and then they were painted and glazed and re-fired. How do you like the results? Charlie Wesley Craft and Cooking Club at Calverley Methodist Church has developed into a group of 3 to 8 year olds (and mums and dads too) who meet on the first Saturday of the month and cook and craft stories from the Bible.
