ST GILES FARNBOROUGH - EVENTS, NEWS AND NOTICES
Charity in Focus 2024St Giles Centre RefurbishmentAt our PCC meeting held on Monday 13th October 2023 the PCC decided to suspend our charitable giving for the whole of 2024, with the exception of the Parish Fete. The reason for this is that we hope that work on the St. Giles Centre will begin in earnest in the summer of that year.  To date we do not have a clear picture of how much this work is going to cost but it will certainly be a substantial amount. Consequently every month we are going to ask our Church and community to contribute to a particular area of the refurbishment work. For example in January the focus will be on raising money to replace the roof in the main hall, a new floor and lighting.  In February the emphasis will be on the redecoration of the main hall. Then in March we will move to the refurbishment of the kitchen and so forth until we have covered every aspect of the work. More information on this will be available as the work builds momentum. |
