Financial support from the District Council has equipped St Anne's with improved heating in its coffee bar as part of its 'Warm Spaces' initiative through the Winter. The coffee bar is open Thursday 10.30-12.30, Friday 10.30am-2pm, and Saturday 11am-1pm. Hot drinks and biscuits (cakes on Thursdays!) are available for a donation and the conversation and company are free of charge too. Pictured is the Bewdley Chess Club who meet every Friday lunchtime.The Council grant has gone towards the provision of improved heaters and increased energy costs, and don't worry, all the electricity comes from green, renewable resources. For more details of this initiative please read the attached Warm Spaces report.
St Anne's Church is currently being repaired and renovated on the outside. This is just the first phase of our ambitious plans to keep the building viable into the future - used and enjoyed as a community hub, and as a church. Our current funding allows us to restore two of the four outside elevations, and covers a feasibility study into how the inside can become a multi-use space. We need to raise more funds to complete the outside, and to turn our hopes for the inside into reality. We want St Anne's to be restored to her former beauty, and to be an asset to our town.This first phase of work is almost complete! The remaining scaffolding should soon be coming down. We have some initial plans for the inside to share with you in the next few months.For current updates check out https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61560870793502
