STOP PRESS
- July 2024 - The Mission Hall has received a grant of £14,124 from the National Lottery Community Fund, as a contribution towards planned improvement and maintenance work. The grant is specifically to help fund replacement double-glazed windows, thermal insulation and woodworm treatment in the roof space, and minor roof repairs. This is in addition to two grants of £5,000 that we have received from the Dr & Mrs Alfred Darlington Trust and from the Valentine Charitable Trust for other building works. We are of course hugely grateful to these organisations for their support for our village, which wil allow us to make the Mission Hall a much more comfortable and attractive place for its users. We are currently obtaining quotes for the planned building works, and will send out information when we have a schedule for the work
