We are delighted to announce that All Hallows Church of Woolsery has been successful in its bid to the National Lottery for a Heritage grant. The Church has been awarded £10,000 for a project called ‘Voices of Woolfardisworthy - Stories of Church and Community’. Essentially the grant funding is for the purchase and training for a system called ‘InfoPoint’ which will enable visitors to the church to have an interactive guided tour of the church via digital technology. Visitors will be able to enjoy learning about the history of the church and Woolsery parish and be able to listen to church bells and the organ play and take a view from the top of the church tower all by the Info point system. InfoPoint will allow us to share and record memories and stories from the local parish both in history and current voices. We would love the local community to come forth and share their stories or memories of growing up in the community to share for future generations. We want young people to be part of using the system and intend to have an area for them whether it is an activity to complete a scouting badge or school history project with quizzes for them to take part.There are many ways that people can volunteer to get involved in this project, whether it is taking some great photos or interviewing local people by gathering the stories of the history of Woolfardisworthy or writing down your story or sharing some history. There will be collection forms available at the church, Chapel, Community Hall or you can complete online here: https://forms.gle/eXCx7LXLpymtJYmt9We will be at the next Woolsery Parish Community Day on 2nd March and the Book sale Saturday 24th February and Saturday 30th March if you would like to pop in and share some history or story for us to share. Please get in touch with Louise Leonard or Rev Jane Skiner if you are interested in getting involved with the project woolseryyyouthclub@gmail.com #Woolsery #woolsfardisworthy #ruralcommunity #ruralchurch #rurallife #NationalLottery #NationalLotteryHeritageFund #HeritageFund #heritageisopenhttps://www.facebook.com/reel/1038932510539391
