VolunteerSt Chad's is the parish church of Prees in North Shropshire. Over the last year we've had a huge amount of support from the village, raising the funds to save a beautiful and important medieval window. We couldnt have done it without them Now we'd like to give something back to the village - a new stained glass window for the village school. Designed and made by the community - by the children, adults in the village and the residents of the local care home. Working with professional stained glass artist Nathalie Liège, they will produce a Window for our Time, but learning the skills of the past - stained glass is officially an endangered craft. It's a truly intergenerational, cross community project. This new window will both beautify the school, and inspire generations of pupils to come. The church has paid for the glass and we have been fortunate enough to get over half the remaining funds from the wonderful Westhill Endowment but still need to raise the remaining £4000!
