National Lottery Award For Our Church
With these sustained and continuous use the Parish Centre requires much day-to-day maintenance and after being in service for 20 years now, is in need of a considerable amount of refurbishment including decoration, renewal of kitchen and toilet facilities, provision of additional external storage facilities and we also wish to bring the grassed area within the railings in front of the Church back into use.
The good news is that the National Lottery has a Community Fund designed to assist with exactly this sort of need and earlier this year, the Parish was invited to make a bid for assistance. This was successful and we have been given a grant of £20,000.00 towards the cost of the various works.
We hope that the work will start during the Half Term break and continue after. We are extremely grateful to the National Lottery and all its contributors for their generosity. Please note that the Parish Hall will not be available during that time for any activity. For more information check the parish website.
