Community Consultation for Heritage Lottery Funding: We are undertaking a community consultation in our process of applying for funding for the roof replacement, stained glass window refurbishment, restoration work in the sanctuary and brass plaques, installing solar panels, refurbishment of the toilet area and installation of a new kitchen servery for refreshments. In addition, to fund some of the initiatives to enable us to get ‘over the finish line’ during the project.
We would really appreciate you completing this survey by clicking on this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BGN78MZ There will also be hard copies of the survey available to complete in church – by the side of the refreshment area. The last date for doing this is Wednesday 7th October after the Open Afternoon in church at 4pm. It shouldn’t take any longer than 4 minutes to complete online.
Can we also ask you to encourage friends, family, neighbours to complete it too, we do need to be able to prove to the HLF funders that ‘our wider community’ really do value our building and the services (pastoral and social) that we offer. Please 'Like' and 'Share' this post with your friends.
Thank you.

PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, the Friday ‘Pub Quiz’ arrangements have had to change. We can no longer offer the hotpot supper; so please still bring your own bottle and also some nibbles to enjoy whilst quizzing. The admission is donation based rather than £10 per person. Please do still sign up to attend the event as outlined in the parish news or in the poster below. It will still be a fun evening and a chance to meet new friends, test your knowledge and have a good time – we look forward to seeing you there.

Information on our upcoming 'Pub Quiz' is detailed below. Please do consider signing up to come along for a fun evening - details on how to do this are in the poster below. Everyone very welcome.
