Donating
Keeping the historic Grade II listed building in good condition and fit for the future is an ongoing challenge, particularly with regard to financing. Remodelling of the bedsits, repair of the tiled walkways and a new heating and lighting system for the chapel are just some of the challenges for which the Charity requires funding.
If you would like to give a donation towards the upkeep of the building or would like further information please contact the Clerk to the Trustees.
