At the beginning of September 2015, Phase 1 of the Christchurch Community Project was complete and new facilities opened to the public and to our church congregation. Phase 1 - which has provided an upgraded kitchen; resurfaced passageway and improved lighting access to the halls; improved heating; modern toilets and disabled facilities - was funded by a grant of £40,000 from WREN (Waste Recycling Environmental Limited), together with monies received from number of other sources. In addition, the halls have benefited from redecoration, new storage, blinds and flooring.
Phase 2 of the Project which will allow safe and easy access to the main entrance to the church building for people in wheelchairs, with limited mobility, or parents with buggies and prams, was completed in February 2017. This phase also included work on the windows on the west side to avoid having to re-erect scaffolding.
2019. Beginning in June the total replacement of the Church central heating system will begin and at the same time the refurbishment of 21 stained glass windows and frames.. These complementary projects will ensure greater comfort in Church during the winter months. The funding is already in place for these two pieces of work.
The aims of the Christchurch Community Project are to:
* support the groups who currently use our premises to provide care and support for those most in need.
* develop an accessible and welcoming suite of buildings to be used by our church community, other community groups in the town and individuals wishing to hire the premises
* provide good quality performance and rehearsal space for all elements of the arts in Grantham
