The Trustees have agreed that we must deliver new facilities as soon as possible and are now preparing to start building in summer 2024.
However, with a huge increase in building costs over the past 18 months, we are planning a more cost-effective building, using a smaller footprint, but delivering the space the village needs. This will be by a phased approach utilising the south wing. But now you can really help to make it happen by donate to the building find.

After 40 successful years with our current buildings the time has come when we have to think about how we can preserve that legacy and take it forward by upgrading our facilities.
What the Parish needs has changed over that time and will go on changing. We now have a really exciting opportunity to find out what people want and create something special for the next 40 years!!
Our strategy is to apply for grant funding from national and smaller providers matched with donations from local individuals and businesses. In parallel, we are looking for construction companies to allow us to start the tender process and help us manage this key Parish project. We are starting a major communications exercise and fundraising activity. This will include open meetings, newsletters, website updates, posters, donation & funding ‘barometers’ and leaflet drops.
So watch out for these.
