Costs and Fundraising

Renovation of the Nave Roof

The total cost of refurbishing the nave roof was £220,867 with 40% coming from church funds, 31% from grants, 15% from donations/fund raising and 14% from VAT claims. Many thanks to all those who gave so generously and to the 7 charities below, who gave us a total of £68,085 in grants towards this work.

We would also like to thank Lydiard Millicent Parish Hall committee who have generously provided us with free use of the Parish Hall for Sunday Services for the duration of the Nave Roof repairs and renewal of the church interior.

Renewal of the church interior

The work has been split into phases so that as we have sufficient funds for a phase we can go ahead with the work.  The total costs for each phase (excluding VAT) are as shown below

How will the money be raised? 

We will use church funds and are holding  fund raising events which are  also helping foster community. We would love the congregation and local community to donate to this vital element of our shared future. We are  also applying to funding bodies, local businesses and charities.

The current status of our funding is

Donations                                                           £54,411

Grant Benefact Trust                                       £20,000

Grant Wiltshire Historic Churches Trust   £2,500

Grant Beatrice Laing Trust                             £5,000

Grant DAC Green Energy                               £10,000

VAT claim                                                             £28,676

Church Legacy                                                    £53,467

This means that, as at January 2025 we have £172,054. This is sufficient funds to carry out Phase 1 and work commenced on this on 13^th January 2025. We also have a balance of £50,424 towards phase 2.

Phase 1 work is scheduled to complete by Easter 2025. We are vigorously fundraising for Phases 2 and 3 so that we can offer hospitality and the convenience of an indoor toilet, across a whole series of community events. It would be ideal if we could continue the next phases directly after the completion of phase 1. We anticipate that Sunday Services will be able to continue while phases 2 and 3 are carried out.
