Scaffolding Goes Up at St Stephen's Church

Scaffolding goes up at St Stephen's

St Stephen's church on the Uxbridge Road has finally raised most of the £220,000 needed to re-roof the church buildings, and scaffolding is going up for work to begin.

It has taken the best part of a decade to raise the money, largely through the dogged efforts of Juliet Byford, chair of the St Stephen's Roof Committee. 

St Stephen's is an inclusive church that welcomes people from many different backgrounds, a place where diverse communities come together.

The church serves food to the homeless, distributes clothes and food, and runs a babies and toddlers playgroup on Monday mornings from 9am to 11am.

The roof appeal used to be hosted at the official website here - but for some reason this has been taken down. For now at least, it doesn't appear to be possible to make a donation, but presumably this will change in the future.
