We were happy to be part of the Co-op Community Fund again last year!
As of Mid October 2024 we were again supported by the Co-op Community Fund. Our last support meant wre could put the community seating area in which is so well used by many. This time the money is going towards a new noticeboard. I know that doesn't sound quite so exciting but it is important that people know what groups are available onsite and what the church is offering to it's local community. Online information is brilliant but not everyone has access to it and even if you do sometimes seeing something on a noticeboard as you walk by makes more of an impact. This falls within the Co-op fund criteria of keeping elderly people involved and engaged in the community as much as possible. We try to be visible that we are open for free coffee and chat every Saturday, but still the news seems not to be well know.
We are delighted to announce that we recieved a total of £1,907.00 this October and hopefully our new noticeboard will be up in a prime position by the Spring to help get these messages seen a little more.
Thank you to everyone who chose us.
We are very grateful.
Our next craft Day will be Saturday April 18th from 10.00am. Bring your thing, craft, jigsaw or whatever, and spend a day just connecting with yourself and others.

The Garden area is being used well.
Our thanks go to all those who supported us through the Co-op Community Fund program a number of years ago, making this new area possible. Also to Marlborough Construction for providing and laying old paving slabs for the area. Read the full story...
Some years ago we had a wonderful £4,700 to budget for our new church and community use outdoor seating area from the Co-op Community Fund. Having priced up the team in charge of the project were confident we could get the area prepared and paved, plus buy the eight seater recycled plastic picnic bench we wanted, with saoce for a wheel chair. Further benches were desired but we would have to see if there was budget remaining.
Then one of the team saw the pavements in their street being replaced and the old ones seemingly discarded. Questions were asked as to whether we could acquire and repurpose them. Long story short the council and Marlborough agreed and Marlborough then chose suitable slabs as they worked in the local area. One day they arrived on site, prepared the ground and laid our lovely new paving area, and you would not know to look at it that it hadn't been there for ever. Even better it was all done free of charge as it was part of the Co-op community fund project.
This meant we could use the money raised to buy all the furniture we wanted, which is now assmebled and in place. Please use it to take a break with your fish and chips, or meal deal, or coffee from the shops over the road, and please use the bin also provided. The remaining money was used towards repair the perimiter wall.
Since then the area has been well used by memebers of the public enjoying somehting form the chip shop or co-op, or just chilling after school. As a church it has enhanced our outdoor activities such as community singing, prayer days and our anual BBQ.
Give thanks, for the Lord is good.
