A Nottinghamshire church has received additional funding to help its plans of developing a community hub. Building work is set to commence at Balderton Methodist Church, near Newark, which will include the re-roofing, opening-up and upgrading of church buildings.
Additional funding has been approved for the church in the form of a £75,000 grant from FCC Communities Foundation, a not- for- profit business that awards grants for community projects through the Landfill Communities Fund. This grant will also allow the church to incorporate better disabled access into the scheme, which will allow everyone whatever their age or mobility problems to be able to move easily around inside the church buildings.
This means wheelchair users will no longer need to exit the building to move between areas. All members of the community visiting Balderton Methodist Church will soon be able to make use of all the facilities in the building.
