The Friends of All Saints Church Old Heathfield

Registered Charity 1108281

The Charity was formed in Autumn 2004 to raise funds for the restoration of the Church.

The intention was to raise most of the money ourselves, both through donations and fundraising events, and also to apply for grants from charitable trusts and other bodies.

The initial objective was to raise £50,000 for repairs to the spire. This was reached in August 2006.

A number of events and activities designed to appeal to everyone were planned to raise these funds.
