About the Reimagining Project – developing a church for the whole community

Our ambition is to restore the church’s place as the hub of religious and social activity in a parish which now has a diverse and multicultural population of over 13,000 people.

St Mary & St Michael has stood at the heart of Trumpington for centuries. As the parish grows and changes, we want our Grade I listed building to remain a welcoming, flexible and inspiring space for everyone – those of faith, those exploring, and those simply seeking connection.

Our Reimagining Project aims to achieve this by adapting the interior to make it more suitable for current needs, providing more flexible space for different styles of service and allowing a wider range of public events and community activity.

We have divided the project into phases, giving priority, after essential repairs, to the installation of kitchen and toilet facilities and the removal of some of the Victorian oak pews to create more flexible spaces in different parts of the church, while retaining its historical character and beauty.

We have allocated £120,000 to the first phase of the project [estimated cost £270,000]. Grant applications and fundraising events are in hand to meet the Phase 1 costs.

Subsequent phases will be financed by such funds as we can generate from our own assets, further grants from charities, donations from individual members of the congregation and community, and fundraising events designed also to attract a wider range of people to discover our church.
