On Sunday 29th of January, St Margaret's Church holds a Special Gift Day raising funds to install and improve better facilities for the congregation and community. It marks the start of a month-long fund raise. To be able to access large grants, we first need to prove we have the community and congregation engagement and financial support to install these necessary facilities.
Why? So we can continue to provide the much needed and much appreciated, welcoming and inclusive space for everyone:
"When I arrived in Devon, I took some time finding a church where I would feel comfortable, and gradually I was drawn to St Margaret’s. It clearly had a strong choral tradition, a lively atmosphere and was well rooted in the community."

So

How much money do we need to raise in total? £360 000 -£400 000.

What are we aiming to raise with the fundraise throughout February? £60 000

What will the money be spent on?
- Installing toilets and circulation (£59K)
- Installing a kitchen with proper plumbing and better facilities (£38K)
- Better accessibility (entrance) and comfort once in the church (£96 000)
- Installing low energy lighting and up-to-date audio-visual equipment (£73 000)
- Improving the multi-space ensuring different groups can make appropriate and inclusive use of the Church (£107 000)
