National Lottery support for Slingsby Church

All Saints’ Church Slingsby has been awarded funding of £11,100 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for its ‘Onwards and Upwards’ project.

Made possible by National Lottery players, the Project aims to carry out urgent repairs following lead theft from the church roof. It also aims to create a new ‘Local History Resource Centre’ and an exhibition area in the Church, opening up the Church to new uses.

The money has been awarded to help our Church develop its plans to apply for a full grant at a later date.
