Friends Win Marsh Volunteer Award

With the receipt of the Marsh Volunteer Award the Friends of St Mary’s have won rightful recognition for their amazing fundraising efforts. They received the award at the Churches Conservation Trust‘s National Volunteer Day in London. The award was because of their efforts raising £10,000 for the Keep the Bell Ringing appeal within six months. As a result of that contribution, the CCT subsequently raised a further £130,000. Together this allowed the work of repairing the roof and belfry of the Old Church to proceed.
