The
Friends......
You will
have noticed by looking at our website that for almost four years
we were unable to use the Church building because of serious damage to the ceiling.
Plaster
from the ceiling had fallen away and presented a serious danger to those using and visiting our Church.
We were of
the opinion that the cause of the damage was due to faulty workmanship and the Church PCC need to pursue the matter as well
as raise money to repair the ceiling and reopen the Church.
Whilst
the Church PCC pursued the legal and practical issues of who was to blame, if indeed the damage was as a result of shoddy
workmanship, a small group of church members decided to form a group to raise funds to support the repairing of the Church
ceiling. The group became the Friends of All Saints Church Longstanton.
The
'Friends of All Saints Church Longstanton’ are a Charity set up to restore All Saints Church Longstanton.[Charity Registration Number 1115069]
The key
objectives of the Charity are to maintain, repair, restore, preserve, improve, beautify and reconstruct for the benefit
of the public the fabric of the Church of All Saints,
Longstanton, its monuments, fixtures, fittings furniture, stained glass, ornaments and other chattels and its churchyard.
To achieve
these objectives, the Charity will obtain and collect money and funds by way of contributions, donations, subscriptions, covenants
legacies, grants and appeals.
If you

of All Saints Church Longstanton] by making a donation,
