Since 2000, the parish has been without any space for community activities as the previous hall was demolished and the land used for housing. In 2012, plans were developed to provide an annexe to the main church, made possible by a gift of land from the Sisters of Mercy.

What the new annexe will provide:

● A new purpose-built parish centre with a kitchen and seating areas
● A meeting place and facilities for wider community use
● Meeting rooms for the business, social and community life of the parish
● Facilities to enable the community to get to know each other better
● Accessible cloakroom facilities real need of our help.

The construction work has now begun!

What we need to do now:

The journey through design and planning has been a long one but work has now started! Since the project was first conceived, the cost of building and materials has increased significantly and the nest-egg from the original sale of land has not kept pace with these increases.
We have sufficient funds in place towards constructing the external shell of the building. Funding for the internal fit-out will be a combination of grant funding and parish fund raising. We have the support of a Diocesan bid-writer who is supporting us with grant applications. Assuming this is successful, approximately £500,000 will need to be raised by the Parish.
