Grants for This Project
All Saints Forward has been made possible by a wide range of grants and partnership funding, alongside the generosity of our own community.
Heritage Lottery Fund
In December 2011 we were delighted to receive a development grant of £36,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to move our design plans forward during 2012. We were even more delighted that our Stage 2 application, requesting a total of £748,100, was granted in March 2013 — and we were incredibly lucky to have this Stage 2 grant extended to £996,000 in December 2017 to cover the cost of major unexpected repairs. Details of the Fund can be found at www.hlf.org.uk.
Partnership Funding
To go alongside the Heritage Lottery Fund grant, the church has raised £220,000 in partnership funding. The Heritage Lottery Fund award covered Phases 1–3 of the All Saints Forward Project; for Phase 4 (the extension) we need to raise much more, and new sources of funding are still being sought.
