Ian Taylor informed the Church on Thursday evening that our grant application to the Big Lottery had not been successful. However this does not mean that we are not continuing with the Project. Ian is looking at possible ways forward and will meet with the Diaconate at the July Meeting. Our thanks go to Ian for his hard work in compiling the grant application.
