| History of Tinsley Forum Tinsley Forum was formed in 1985 when local groups and individuals joined together with the local authority to develop and review annually a corporate plan for Tinsley. Since then Tinsley Forum has continued to work to improve the quality of life for Tinsley residents. It became a company limited by guarantee in October 1999 and began employing its own staff then, initially based in Tinsley Methodist Church. The old Catholic Church (now Tinsley One Stop Shop) was purchased in 2001 with funds from SRB4 and Capital Receipt monies from the sale of Parkhouse School. Staff moved into the One Stop Shop in June 2001, and Sheffield College started running community development courses in Sept 2002.
