Welcome note

Welcome to the The Olton Project (TOP). Over the last 10 years, we have been providing safe, open spaces for the community to meet, learn and grow together. It’s been a blessing to be able to continue this in our new premises, the beautiful ‘church amongst the trees’.

TOP was started by a few families from the Olton area, and has grown organically over the years, offering a variety of activities and events, including: spiritual gatherings of remembrance and mindfulness; language and religious classes; weekly coffee mornings; leisure activities; guest speakers on topical subjects; social functions, and much more.

We hope you will reach out and join us on this blessed journey.
