Recently I celebrated becoming an octogenarian and enjoyed sharing my birthday with our family and many cherished friends both old and new. Despite my request for no gifts several people gave me some funds tucked into cards.

After reflection I feel inspired to offer those gifts to provide for a craftsperson to build a new altar for St Clare’s Chapel of Hope at Elm Grove Sanctuary. Sadly, the chapel had been neglected and stripped of all content by the time that Pete and Sarah took over ownership.

Should you wish to contribute funds towards the restoration of the Chapel, or any other needed restoration work, our Elm Grove Trust has decided to open an appeal in support of this.

Donations can be made to: EGS Project A/c BSB 032 766 A/c No: 13 9061

Please specify ‘Chapel and Restoration work’ and email your details for receipting purposes to egstrust2@gmail.com
