The funding will also support new initiatives at the church including a Men’s Shed – which aims to engage hard-to-reach men. It provides emotional support and assistance, whilst giving an opportunity to make small repairs to household items in a fully equipped shed. Cooking classes and a ‘Grow Your Own’ vegetable garden will also be supported through these funds.
Revd Peter Wyatt, Minister in Charge said, “I am exceptionally grateful to my staff and team of dedicated volunteers, and of course to the National Lottery who have exhibited great faith in us once again.”
To celebrate, a summer BBQ will held on 29 July 2023 from 12–4pm. Contact: stfrancisselsdon@gmail.com
