We are so grateful to all those who have donated so far and for all the efforts of those who have contributed towards raising the funds and applying for grants

This has been an immense effort and we praise God that these efforts have been rewarded and the amounts needed have become achievable.

Our May fair was a huge success and raised £2,459.32 towards our building projects. thank you to everyone who helped and contributed to the May Fair.

We are nearly there and with a little bit more fund raising we hope to have the thatched roof made watertight, the east window repaired and the organ cleaned and repaired by spring 2025.

So far:

We have permission (a faculty) to carry out works to the thatch and window.

We hope to have the faculty for the organ work in June.

We have been awarded 4 grants by:

o The Norfolk Churches Trust (£5000)

o Paul Bassham Charitable Trust (£2000)

o Benefact Trust (£2,500)

o The St Edmund’s Church Heritage Trust (£30,000)

Our total fund raising to date has now reached £75,879

We still need another £20,000 (at least) to complete all three projects.
