- ​Our Church Hall Renewal Project

The current Church Hall was the first building to be opened when the parish was first created in the early 1930s. On Sundays it was used for worship, through the week for other activities and even served as the first vicarage – the vicar lived in a flat above the hall!
Time has not been kind to the hall and it now in need of major refurbishment.

Our vision for the Church Hall is that it should be used as a Youth Centre and Community Facility with the objective of outreach and serving the needs of the local community. It is already used by Funland Pre-school, a Dog Training group and a Kumon branch as well as being the base for church activities. In the future we anticipate a significant increase in its use for youth events and community activities.
​
As well as refurbishment we plan to make a number of improvements to the building to make it more flexible. These include …

• Lowering a former stage to create a single level meeting room at the rear of the building
• Creating new toilet and kitchen facilities in this new meeting room so it can be used independently of the main hall
• Relocating the kitchen to give better access and as well as better use of space
• Completely replacing the antiquated heating system
• Completely refurbishing the external grounds and play area
• Completely refurbishing the outdated toilets
• Incorporation of energy saving features including photovoltaic panels on the south facing roof
• Create much needed storage space on the north side to enable equipment and chairs to be properly stored

Building work began in August 2017.
