I am taking part in the Annual Ride & Stride Plus, a fun day day exploring some of Sussex's unique historic buildings, raising money for both my local church/chapel and the Sussex Historic Churches Trust. Why do historic buildings need grants Many historic churches, chapels and meeting houses are battling to survive. Roofs leak, ancient timbers rot and medieval stonework crumbles. Now you can help by joining the Ride & Stride Plus adventure, your sponsorship will raise money for their repair and preservation.
