The decision was announced on 1st June 2011 that Soli House is moving to Alton in September 2013.
Soli will be moving onto the Alton Castle site into a new purpose-built centre. We do not want this to happen. We need your help!! Please do this by signing the petition to show that you want Soli House to stay in Stratford. Also, if you can, please write emails or letters to Archbishop Bernard Longley, he needs to hear your views. We know Soli is really important to all of the young people who have visited it in the past and present and it honestly has changed so many lives for the better. Placing it anywhere but Shakepeare-country and it is just not the same, as Stratford provides more facilities and we feel it is a much better location for the retreat.
Also, after signing, follow these links to see a video made by a teenager, Clare Dempsey (15) and to listen to the 'Official Save Soli House Song' by some young people
who recently visited Soli to see how much this means to us all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPzF9A-GDPY

We just hit 250 signatures and Archbishop Longley needs to know we are not backing down. This board is showing the real heartbreak of losing Soli House and we are only getting louder.

This place changed me when I was 16. Truly special location.
Stratford is home for Soli House. Why mess with something that actually works?
Stop moving things around just for the sake of it. Soli belongs in Stratford.
Keep it where it is. Soli house means everything to us
Spent the best week of my life there. Dont move it
