Building Anew Project Update 

It was wonderful to welcome so many to the project update event in May. Thank you for your continued support, generosity and enthusiasm.

Since then, construction of the extension has continued to make excellent progress. Work remains on schedule and within budget, with the contractor still expecting to finish it by the end of August.

The brickwork and roof tiling are now almost complete, and the electrical wiring and plumbing pipework have been installed. The windows, doors and kitchenette units have been ordered, and the floor insulation laid. In the coming weeks, the underfloor heating system, powered by the environmentally friendly ground-source heat pump, will be fitted. July should also see the connection to the Thames Water sewer completed and the creation of the new doorway linking the church’s north aisle to the extension.

Once completed, the extension will not only provide essential facilities for the community but also enable the church to enhance and expand its outreach activities. The church will become a stronger beating heart at the centre of the community, doing more to support those in the greatest need and creating more opportunities for companionship, learning, wellbeing and social cohesion for generations to come.

With completion of the extension firmly in sight, the final phase of fundraising is now underway. This is focused on securing the money needed to commission the last stage of work – namely to make the best possible use of the current organ chamber and clergy vestry. This will be achieved by creating a new mezzanine storage area, a sacristy beneath it, and a flexible space serving as the choir vestry and for small meetings. We would be extremely grateful for any further support you can offer.
