Ewhurst School Governors Fund (UK, XR75500) Browse events

YTD Raised: £165.00

In conjunction with St Peter and St Paul's Church in Ewhurst, we have set up the ultimate adrenaline rush event. On Saturday 14th June, those who are brave enough will be able to climb to the top of Guildford Cathedral and abseil off using a zip-wire. Just getting to the top of the Tower is a challenge in itself - and then there's nothing between you and the ground. Recent changes in funding mean that small village schools have lost some of the subsidies that have been in place for many years - realistically schools need to have 250+ children to be economically viable and the School has 90. We are aiming to raise money to help secure the future of the school and to ensure that this generation of children receive at least the same opportunities as those who have gone before. St Peter and St Paul's Church has been at the heart of the village for over 800 years. Maintaining the fabric and keeping it alive as a place of worship - rather than as a monument is a challenge that inevitably requires more money than we can raise through normal day-to-day contributions. Whatever is raised for the Church through this event will ensure that we can kepour heart beating. Volunteers for the abseil - and there is a limited number of places - can raise funds for the School, for the Church or for both. You decise and let us know.

Heptonstall Methodist Church (UK, 1134254) Browse events

YTD Raised: £140.00

Celebrated its 250th Anniversary in 2014 Heptonstall Methodist Church is an unusual octagonal chapel building, historically significant as it's been in continuous use since 1764, making it the world's oldest Methodist Church. The octagonal design follows the theory that this shape left the devil no corners to hide in.  The chapel is open every day and can be found tucked away off Northgate in the centre of the historic village of Heptonstall.  Services are held at 10:45am each Sunday and you can be assured of a warm welcome. The historic significance of the chapel in Heptonstall is that it signifies the start of Methodism moving indoors.  The need to avoid bad weather meant that early chapels, such as Heptonstall, were really only tools for preaching.  Pure functionality was the driving force behind this unique building which uses simple materials in a pared down but beautiful design.  The chapel remains a fine example of a very early Methodist building, which inevitably requires expensive ongoing upkeep.  The chapel’s story actually started in 1742, which was 22-years before there was even a chapel stone in the ground.  William Darney travelled from Scotland and preached throughout the area building up a large number of societies on both sides of the Pennines.  The Heptonstall society grew significantly and had frequent visits from both Charles and John Wesley.  These visits always attracted large crowds and led to the decision to build Heptonstall chapel.  John Wesley laid the foundation stone in 1764 and preached in the unfinished shell and again two years later after the roof had been added. In Dr Richard Taylor’s BBC Four series “Churches: How to read them” he named Heptonstall Methodist Church as one of his ten favourite churches, saying: “If buildings have an aura, this one radiated friendship.”  It follows that you will always be very welcome to visit and your support towards ongoing maintenance costs will be greatly appreciated.  You can support us by either making a regular donation or a one-off gift by following the links on this site.  Collect a phone/cartridge recycling envelope when you visit.
