Story
Hello
It is 2017 and we are a small community in Suffolk. We have a beautiful medieval church that is one of only two public buildings in our village, and this pretty church is by far the largest. It has wonderful stained glass windows and historic panels from previous benefactors. Whilst there is an active congregation in the church, the money required for the roofing works alone amounts to £26,000. There are other works such as work to the eaves and electric work.
We are hoping to raise £6,000 initially so we can apply for match funding.
So far, we haven't sat on our laurels. We have organised several community events with something for everyone. A quiz, a book launch, a fun dog show, a ploughing day and even Strawberry Teas!
We urgently need your help. Whatever you can donate will be greatly appreciated.
You can join The Friends of Thrandeston church and receive regular updates. You dont have to live in the village. We have one Friend who lives in County Durham.

7 years agoHello This is a quick line to thank you very much for your generous donation to our fund raising effort to raise sufficient monies so we can apply for grants to help re-roof St Margarets at Thrandeston. We have two more events lined up, 22nd July, Fun Dog show and 17th September ploughing day. The thing about 'fun'd raising we are finding is that it is great fun and as a very small community, we are getting together more than at the christmas carol service. Heartfelt thanks again, Penny.

7 years agoThank you most sincerely for your very generous donations. We are thrilled you have chosen to support us in whatever way you can. It has been a slow start, fundraising on the ground is fun and very worthwhile. Yesterday, we were very lucky with the weather for our strawberry teas. Sadly it clashed with open gardens day in Eye..... our next adventure is the Fun Dog show on the 22nd July. There will be lots of things to raise more money.. we just cannot let this wonderful building decline. Thank you again. Penny
