Iʼve raised £1,220 to maintain the Easter Cross

Story
Churches Together in Stocksbridge and Deepcar will ensure that the Easter Cross will be lit again this year. Last year people responded generously to an appeal for funds to maintain it but due to an administrative error the money wasn't claimed and donations were returned. Sincere apologies are offered for this. The cross is exposed to a lot of weather and needs a more secure housing plus replacement lights. Can you help, please? As always, Mr Greg Godley and family are thanked for the use of their land on which the cross stands, as are John and Wayne Hirst for their electrical work. Liberty Steel, thanks to Mr Russell Jackson, will provide the electricity for an extended period again.

4 years agoThe Just Giving page for the Easter cross is about to close. Many thanks once again to all who have helped to exceed the target. Churches Together in Stocksbridge and Deepcar (CTSD) will keep the money separately accounted for towards future maintenance needs. Well done all!

4 years agoThanks and well done! to all the brilliant people who reached the target in less than three days. The Just Giving account will be closed in two weeks, so there's still time if anyone else would like to add to the pot. Any surplus money from this year will be held separately by Churches Together to be used for any further upkeep. The cross takes some battering from the weather (and occasionally vandals) so it often needs some work before it can be lit again. Many thanks and congratulations, you lovely people.
