February 2010.

St Lukes PCC is delighted to announce a grant of £4,000 towards the stonework and plasterwork given by the Wolfson Foundation via The Archbishop’s Council. The PCC are extremely grateful to the Trustees for this wonderful grant. The work has now been put out to tender and we have now reached over the half way  mark for the funds needed. The fund stands at £44,000. Work will start on the  most urgent work as soon as possible. Many sincere and warm thanks to all the donors. Only another £35,000 to go!
