The website will automatically donate a small percentage of the value of your shopping basket - at no cost to you - and pass it to your nominated charity.
New Flat roof on the meeting room
The old roof was completely resurfaced at the beginning of November. The new improved roof incorporates a layer of thermal insulation and is finished with a plastic polymer resin which will far outlast the previous mineral felt covering. The total cost was around £10,000 as budgeted.
Floor coverings - After the roof, new floor coverings were laid in the man hall and in the smaller 'coffee bar' room. The new meeting room already has a new floor.
Sale of pews - when GiftAid was added in, the recent sale of pine pews raised over £600.
