Raise the Roof Campaign · 3 July 2019

St Christopher's Lea is a busy and thriving church and community centre, having served the area since 1947. It is used seven days a week for church services, a full-time nursery, scout and guide groups, a popular tea club, a dance/exercise group, Slimming World, social events, and it is hired out for special events like children's parties. St Christopher's is a hub of community life in the area, but all of this is now under threat after thieves stole a substantial amount of our copper roof material at the end of June (2019). The roof material has been overdue replacement anyway. Now is the time to purchase a whole new roof so that we can safeguard the future of this important community asset for many more years to come. The Church PCC does not have enough funds for this at present, but with your generous help we can achieve this. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

Story

St Christopher's Lea is a hub of community life in the area, but all of this is now under threat since thieves have stolen a substantial amount of our copper roof material. Ongoing water ingress has put the future of the church and community centre under threat. With your generous help we can keep St Christopher's open.

In 2019 we raised £5776 when this appeal was first opened, but sadly we had more of our roof stolen in May 2020. Another £3000 now will get us to the point where all of the roof can finally be recovered - please consider helping.

St Christopher's has served the area since 1947. Before the pandemic it was getting used seven days a week for church services, scout and guide groups, a popular tea club, a dance/exercise group, Slimming World, social events, and is hired out for children's parties. Please help us protect this valuable community asset. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
