Grant News

Last week, our AM, Jane Davidson, came to visit us in order to see the work we plan to do at the church hall, and to meet some of the crowd from St Caths Plus enjoying lunch there.

Jane was her usual self - engaging, thorough, wanting to know all the details and understand exactly what our project was about. Dr Thomas Pinhorn, who has been essential in previous conservation projects we have done on site, and who advised with our CFAP application, explained that angle, and vicar Marcus Green spoke about the community side of the project - what the renewed buildings will enable to happen in the community.

The folk from the lunch club joined in, and very much spoke of their support and asked Jane to help out.

Subsequently, Jane has written a tremendous letter to the deputy minister for regeneration at the Assembly, and we are very grateful to her both for coming to see us and for writing in support of what we are trying to achieve.

The waiting continues... Keep praying everyone!
