Help the All Saints Church, Orpington, Lychgate - Tile-by-Tile

On behalf of All Saints' Church, Orpington, I would like to thank you for supporting us in our Bid for a Grant from Bromley Council.  Sadly, we were unsuccessful with our Bid.  The messages from our Petition alone have shown us how much this Lychgate means to the community - the stories and memories shared were fantastic.  

We have used some of the money that we raised (£545.89 including Gift Aid) from our initial Grant Funding application, to cover the Lychgate and the surrounding uprights with wood preservative.  We are grateful to our Community Pay Back Team for applying several much-needed coats, but, as you can see, the roof with its 1,000 tiles is in desperate need of repair.

We have been quoted £8,000 to carry out the work. To help us raise this amount, we are offering a chance to dedicate a tile in memory of someone or an occasion that means a lot to you. 

Please follow the link https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/23008 to donate £8 per tile.  Please then email us with the name (or names) of the occasion or people that you wish to remember and a short Dedication to events.allsaintsorpington@gmail.com  Once we receive your donation and Dedication, we will email you a special scroll and, when we have raised the total, we will create a book of the sponsors/dedications that will be kept in Church for everyone to see.  If we receive more than £8,000, we will use the excess funds specifically for the future of the lychgate.
