Maria, our PCC Secretary and friend Fran completed their amazing sponsored walk around Norfolk in the summer of 2023 along its long distance paths a total of nearly 160 miles and raised over £5000. Congratulations and thank you.
The open garden afternoon in Irstead in July 2023 was a lovely event and raised over £1000 - thank you to everyone who came and supported us.
Just before Easter we heard that The Norfolk Churches Trust had awarded us £6,000. We are absolutely delighted and thank the Trust very much for their support.We are also most grateful to The Benefact Trust for their grant towards our appeal.
We held a very successful Open Garden at Grove House, Irstead on Saturday 15th June 2024, despite the wind, rain and thunder, we did have some beautiful sunshine, but were thankful to be able to shelter in the large barn when it rained.
Wednesday 4th September saw us hosting a talk and demonstration at the church by Master Thatcher Mick Aldred and this was an opportunity to say 'thank you' to the many who had helped with fundraising and donated monies.
The PCC should like to thank each and every one who has contributed so generously to our appeal and we now look forward to the work being undertaken, probably in April 2025.
