Grant fund for communities off the gas grid
Calor has opened its Rural Community Fund offering grants of up to £5,000 for projects to improve local life.

Eden Arts Remote rural cinema
REMOTE Cinema is about bringing the community together through cinema events and by event we mean watching great films together and creating fun, social events that could include dressing up, food, music, games and other activities, perhaps inspired by the film’s themes.
I think this would be wonderful to have in a church! A great way to bring the community together or as a fund raiser? Please get in touch with me if you are interested.

Programme of events

A full programme of demonstrations of traditional crafts, talks by SPAB experts and other invited guests, an array of exhibitors and hands-on activities will fill the two-day event. With professionals on hand to provide free, clear, unbiased advice about what is best for your building, there will also be representatives from the very best in building conservation.
