We have launched a project to provide an accessibility lift in our building.

​​

Moving between church and halls involves using the stairs, and the Parlour can only be reached via stairs.  This represents a significant issue for people with childen and buggies and people with mobility challenges.

 

Our vision

​

During 2027 we plan to install a lift linking the ground floor in the halls, the mezzanine level with a corridor to the church, and the upper floor in the halls for the Parlour room.  

​​​​​​

The toilets need to be relocated to facilite this so the project includes updating the toilets.

​

We believe this will help us to better serve the wider community and our own congregation.

​​

In May we launched our internal Lift Fund Appeal with a target of £25,000.  With a combination of donations to sponsor various aspects of the project, selling pictorial sections of the lift shaft and pieces of the lift cab, together with straight donations we are delighted to say that we have passed our target!!!  Many of the donations have been gift aided and this will generate an additional £5,000 from HMRC next year. 

 

Fund raising events continue including a sale of  Christmas puddings!  Who knows, we might even make it to £30,000 which will help to get the main fundraising target over the line also! The appeal with remain open until the New Year

​​

The lift project will cost considerably more than this, around £400,000, but will be largely funded by grants from various bodies, and these applications are also progressing well.
