Our Church Room was built in the early 1970’s to not particularly exacting standards. It has been suffering from rising damp, a leaking roof and damaged ceiling, and poor insulation. It has a far from adequate kitchen, in what is effectively a large broom cupboard, and a very basic toilet.
Thanks to a grant from the Thatchers Foundation and a generous anonymous donation, together with reserves we have built up over the last few years, we are now in the process of carrying out a complete refurbishment.
The structural repairs are being carried out and a new modern kitchen fitted. The toilet is being enlarged and completely revamped to conform to disabled access requirements, and a baby changing station is being fitted. At the same time we are taking the opportunity to upgrade the electrical installation.
The work is expected to take a couple of months, and during that time our Tuesday midweek communion services will take place in the Chancel of the church. Our very popular Community Cafes will relocate to Sandford Village Hall on Saturdays 1stFebruary and 1st March during the work. Our regular services will take place as normal in the church.
We will update you as the work progresses.
