The donation will be used to purchase one of the 25 Pendant Lamps needed as part of the church renovation project.

To date the St Mary’s Project Committee have reached £1,593 towards the £1,900 needed. It’s hoped the work will be finished by the end of October, in time for the annual Christmas Tree Festival.

The Lions felt that St Mary’s represents a busy community meeting place and the renovations will allow more comfortable surroundings and greater accessibility to the numerous groups who will use the facilities.

Sabrina Tate said: “I’m impressed by the parish website which tracks the progress of the renovations, and allows individuals to see how they can support this vital work.”
