Plans for the future include providing external recycling facilities. This is an extension of the scheme that already exists in church to recycle potato crisp products, dishwasher products, dental products and pet food pouches. A storage unit accessible from the car park adjacent to church will house 6 boxes for these items and give accessibility when church is closed. And to provide a wildlife haven and well being space in an unused corner of the churchyard. 2 benches, 2 planters and 2 ‘pond in pots’ will be positioned in the corner of the churchyard on the north side. Water butts and bird boxes will also be added.We are keen to develop links in the village and work collaboratively with anyone else to promote awareness and sustainability and improve facilities in the village wherever there may be an opportunity. Do please get in touch if you have any ideas we can work on together.
In these difficult times, many families are worrying about how they will cope financially, and many businesses are threatened with closure. The church also continues to have its expenses and commitments, even though the buildings themselves are not currently in use. If you normally donate money to the church via the envelope scheme and are able to continue making a financial contribution, would you consider setting up a standing order to continue your payments? If you would like information on how to do this, please contact the Vicar, or one of the Church Wardens, who will put you in touch with our treasurer.If you would like to make a donation to the church by cheque, please make the cheque payable to 'St Katharine's PCC' and send c/o The Treasurer, 6 Nightingale Road, Blackrod, BL6 5DX.Or you could make a donation using the donation link, which will go directly to St Katharine's. Just click on the donation button on the home page. Thank you for your support.
