COMMUNITY AND FUND RAISING

St Margaret's PCC runs a variety of events which both bring the community together and raise funds either for the church's ministry or for its repair and maintenance.

Our last effort was to raise funds for internal Re-decoration and we were able to complete that project.  Our current project is to meet the requirements of our latest Quinquennial Inspection, for which we need to find about £17,000.  


Typical events have been harvest suppers, cheese & wine evenings, Call My Bluff (Wine), summer fêtes and lunches - and one year we held a sponsored swim.

Plans for 2024 include a Soup & Snowdrop event held in February and a mini-fête/fun afternoon to be held on J's Meadow in the village during the summer.

An earlier project, restoration of the commandment boards which are all but illegible, has been put on hold for the present, although some funds were raised and are currently set aside.

We have in the past benefited from external support from grant making bodies:  AllChurches Trust, Garfield Weston Foundation, Suffolk Historic Churches Trust, Round Tower Churches Society,  The Ganzoni Trust and The Scarfe Charitable Trust. There have also been some generous personal donations.
