At this year’s event held at the Spike on 24th January, we raised £800 which was donated to the Mission Ukraine CIC a UK based charity that helps with the provision of humanitarian aid to Ukraine during these troubled times.

A huge thank you to all those who took part in the Heads & Tails game and to Olha and Bogdan for cooking an excellent supper and for donating their wages for the evening to Mission Ukraine.

Pancake Racing takes place in Guildford High Street on 17th February this year please come and take part in this fun event if you can. We need children for the children’s races and adults for the relays and sprints that will be taking place from 11:30. Last year we raised more than £580 for the Mayor of Guildford’s Support Fund.

The research of people found in the Guildford Poor Law Union Workhouse according to the 1881 census is now nearing completion and by December 2026 we hope to have all inmates loaded on our dedicated website: https://spikelives.co.uk.

Our family historians are now researching workhouse staff and the Board of Guardians present in 1881.

We’re pleased to announce that following a successful campaign using spacehive we have realised sufficient funding from the wonderful local community to install a defibrillator at the Spike. The funding includes the cost of installation as well as training for residents on its use and how to perform CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation).

We have lots of new hirers and lots of new activities taking place at the Spike, find out more here:
