THE PARISH HALL - APPEAL

After a survey it was discovered that the interior of the hall was totally asbestos clad. The removal of the asbestos was completed in February 2009 at a cost of £14,000. The hall is the hub of our Parish organisations and social life, as well as a resource used widely by the local community. The redevelopment of the hall is now a major challenge to the Parish Community. Can you help? We need to raise a total of £150,000. Donations to the Hall Fund may be sent to the Parish Priest, cheques payable to St Dunstan's Church (Hall Fund). Thank you...every little will help!

UPDATE

In September planning permission was granted by the local authority for the redevelopment of the hall. In September new toilet facilities for the disabled were completed and in March 2010 a new meeting/seminar room was added. The seminar room now gives us a small social space for meetings, children's liturgy and adult catachesis. Tenders have been recieved to complete the hall, kitchen, new conservatory and new toilet block. We may have to stage the works, doing what we can afford when we can afford it. We pray that 2010 (our 75th anniversary as a Parish) will see our hall resored to full use. Please help if you are able.

NEWS FLASH

August 15th 2010 - we have almost reached our target! A very big thank you to all who have been so generous!
