Thanks to a generous grant from the National Churches Trust, St Cuthbert's is currently carrying out essential repairs to the roof and internal walls. We were able to raise match-funding through the successful flower festival and concert and other donations in 2025.The NCT's vision is that church buildings across the UK should be well maintained, open to everyone, sustainable and valued. Working on the ground across all four nations, they support churches of all denominations, helping them to thrive. As a charity, they are independently funded and rely on the generosity of supporters to carry out this work.
The summer term challenge for the primary school children of Chop Gate, Carlton, Ingleby Greenhow and Great Broughton and Kirkby was "Busy Bees". The entries are all in and have been judged and the children will find out the winners in the new term starting in September. All the entries were on display at the August Flower Festival in Kildale Church.Thank you and congratulations to all the children who entered the competition.
Thank you to everyone who supported and worked on the the Flower Festival in early August 2025. A magnificent £2,000 was raised. The whole community decorated the church beautifully and many lovely comments were received from visitors. There was a full church for the musical evening which was much enjoyed by all. Thank you to Rainbow Nursery, Strikes and Arcadia for loaning tubs of flowers.Further donations have enabled us to meet the match funding by National Churches Trust. Repair work to the roof and inside the church is due to be completed by March 2026.The coffee morning at Stokesley was well supported and raised the sum of £240.
