Many folks travelling to Othona by public transport will be familiar with the DaRT 4 bus service from Southminster train station. There is currently a consultation by Essex County Council on whether to withdraw or reduce this service. This would greatly impact all those who travel here by public transport as the DaRT 4 service is a vital link between Southminster train station and the Othona Community. It is also a very important service for those living in the local area who rely on public transport, including all our volunteers who don't drive. Please can you support us to try and keep this service going. Can you fill in the online survey by following the link below?

We've begun a project to renew our websites and we're looking to refresh all of Othona's online presence.

This one hour video presentation (passcode: r#YR316! to access), with Q&A, was recorded on Saturday 12th August. Do have a look if you're interested.

After viewing it, if you have questions or have time and skills to offer,... Read More

Calling all members, visitors, guests, volunteers and staff of Othona – please would you spare a few minutes to complete this short questionnaire? It’s about belonging and membership of The Othona Community. You may be a life-long member or may not even know that a membership scheme exists. Your answers will help us understand what membership and belonging means for everyone and inform the most helpful way of improving our mission and community together.

Your responses may be anonymous, or you can choose to leave your and contact details.

The survey will close on Sunday 3rd September 2023, and the findings and results will form the basis of a report to the Othona AGM later that month.

Many Many Thanks!
