The Trust is applying to various funders, however it should be noted that some larger funders are not accepting applications, for a variety of reasons, for a capital purchase. In the interim we are pursuing funding not just for the Capital purchase of the Church, but also for additional expenses, such as a condition survey.
Whilst we already have some generous private contributions promised we are still a long way off our goal and would kindly remind you that this will be a one-off opportunity to save this building for community use. Please consider donating or asking to speak to one of the Trustees to make a pledge in confidence.
With your help to keep the building in community ownership it would afford everyone the opportunity to have a centre for celebration, condolence, the arts, talks and recitals. A historic building that stands on a site that has served the community since the 13th century and that has been instrumental in the formation of this greater parish.
Should you be so minded then can we ask you to make a donation here or contact a Trustee should you prefer to discuss a donation privately.
