We are so grateful to all who helped to make this such a successful project - the Spire Group (Jenny Carpenter, John Cripps, Joe Dey, John Harding and Alistair Morris), especially John Cripps, for all their planning and for sourcing and applying to the funding bodies; the funding bodies (see below) who supported us so generously and the congregation and neighbours who made wonderfully generous donations; the architect and contractors who have done a great job and were very flexible in letting us have access to the church when we needed it. We have been very blessed!
We are celebrating 25 years of life and witness as a joint Anglican-Methodist congregation.But our 1930, Grade II listed building is under threat. The spire needs urgent repair before another winter causes more damage.We have raised £60,000 and are applying for grants from heritage, conservation, and church funds.But we need your support to raise the final £25,000. If we are lucky enough to raise more, as an Eco-Church we will prioritise further reduction of our carbon footprint.Our 25th Anniversary Appeal for Emergency Spire Repair launches on Sunday 26th February!See www.standrewspsalterlane.org.uk/spire-appeal/ to find out more.
