For the past year, we have been collecting for the Friends of Somerset Churches and Chapels (FSCC) through our scheme whereby a donation of £25 is requested for an initial enquiry or advice.

Presenting a cheque for £1,275, Louise Crossman commented  “ We are very pleased to have been able to support the FSCC’s work in this way. All church buildings of whatever age are unique and it is important that the fabric of these buildings is valued and cared for in such a way that worship can continue and they retain their role at the centre of the community”.
