We're making repairs!

Our church building is one of the first premises owned by a predominantly LGBT+ organisation in the UK. It is also where the first ever legal same s*x marriage in a church in the UK took place. And it is a place that continues to mean so much to so many as it continues to be an integral part of the ministry we have been doing since our church bought the building in 1991.

But a building that was built in 1896 needs some extra love and care from time to time. That's why we are re-rendering our exterior front wall. And we need your help.

It's our D.I.Y. Project of Love! Thanks to one of our congregants who recently was granted asylum and leave to remain in the UK, we're able to save much needed funds. He was a renderer/plasterer in the country he fled and he has graciously volunteered to lead our Motley Crew of DIYers! And we have a second asylum seeker who also was a renderer/plasterer in the country he fled who is helping us as he awaits a decision on his asylum hearing.

But we need help! Our work got behind schedule as our scaffording was delayed by one of their workers who is injured. The scaffolding is finally all up as of today and we need a full on work day tomorrow.

We need you to come along and help knock off all the old rendering. This part doesn't take much talent or special skills--just some hammering and the occasional chiselling. And you need to be ok with climbing a ladder to get up onto the scaffolding.

If that's you then please come along tomorrow (Saturday) and help! We really, really could use you! We'll be going from 8 am. Come all day if you can, or any part of the day that you can. You'll get a bit dusty so wear some older clothes. We have proper worker face masks for you so you won't breath in anything bad.

If you are not physically able to help with the work but still want to join in the fun, we have a few other odd jobs that need doing around the church, and we always need someone to make the teas and sort the biscuits! So come on along.

And if you're able to make a donation to help pay for the scaffolding (£750) and the materials (about £800), check out our donate page to make your donation:

Here's a few early pictures of what's been accomplished already.
