The council has officially scrapped the eviction plans and the site is ours to develop. You put in the work to keep this space open for our community and it paid off. Keep an eye on our social media pages for updates on the upcoming renovation meetings.

Stop the council evicting Ransomes from the club and protect the site for community sports.


Please sign our petition to save the club for local people, local clubs without a base, and create a multi-sports venue and social centre for people of all ages and abilities, and to work with disadvantaged young people and those with disabilities.

There is nowhere else in Ipswich which would offer such a broad range of activities, all year round, as a safe place for children of all age groups to enjoy sport and socialise.

my father played tennis, football, cricket, table tennis at the the Orwell Works Social Club. my childhood was spent up there playing sport while he was, then i played for Ransomes in two spells before having to move away for work. It has history an dis a community asset.

PLEASE DONT LET THEM DESTROY THIS PLACE. Used to go for the social events all the time and it really brought people together.
