The idea
St. Michael's Church is a hub for our community. We hold regular concerts and exhibitions, in addition to Civic events. We have children's groups, including providing hot food for children who desperately need it. This is alongside our regular services, many of which are attended by elderly people. St. Michael's is a lifeline for many, and a cultural centre for the community.
Our old heating system was shut down as unsafe. We need a new boiler to be able to continue our events and services to the people of Lancing. The new boiler will cost £3969.74
Without the new boiler, St. Michael's would be unable to host events & concerts in the Winter months - a big loss to this community. We would also put our elderly people in danger due to the cold. We need your help to improve this community building!
What we'll deliver
- New heating system
Why it's a great idea
This project will benefit the whole Lancing community. The Church has stood for nearly 100 years, and served this community in a variety of ways. We need to ensure it can stand for another 100 years.
With a new boiler we will be able to increase our events & services.
We already have concerts from Primary and Secondary schools, local choirs, brass bands and so on. We have had art exhibitions from Primary schools and professional artists. We also provide a quiet space for people to reflect - the church is always open during the week and often used for this reason.
By supporting this project we are ensuring Lancing's heritage and the continuing use of an historic building for the community.
Steps to get it done
