Welcome to our page of practical love and care needs across our Church. Like any house and facility, there are many things that need to be managed, fixed, improved and repaired.
During the year, we hold an annual working bee and two garden-bees however these times do not always suit everyone and the list of needs never seems to end. Therefore we want to identify some of the needs here so that people who want to help are no longer confined to specific timeslots or our three working bees each year!
Maybe individually, you can assist, or maybe you can form a small group and join together. As many hands make the work light, maybe you can lend a hand to the practical things that need to happen in and around the Church Facility. You might have an hour a month, or 15 minutes during the week to offer your help in looking after what the Lord has given to us. We would love help each week, or once per term or whatever frequency can suit you.
The below are various needs that we would love for you to help us with. These needs can be shared with more than one person. Can you help?
