History in the making, with your help

UPDATE
Our Building Oversight Group (chaired by Stephen Cole) is putting together our application ‘tome’ for the end of February. In the meantime we are advised to press on with our separate applications for Grant and Trust funding from other national bodies. This is for both building (St Marys’ House and Church) because, without modernisation and development of St Mary’s House, our community outreach and mission will stop!
​
If you can offer any help at all (with just one single application) please have a word with Andrew Pickthorn or Neil Logan Green. Thank you. (January 2025)
​
​​​COMMUNITY SURVEY
A big thank you to all who completed our online Community Survey. Information gleaned from your feedback will hopefully help unlock money from the Heritage Fund for our Building Project Appeal - to improve facilities in St Mary’s House for the wider community, improve access to the church, and to provide a toilet and a servery there.
