St John’s Church Heating Replacement Fund

The heating system at St John the Baptist Church is only 40% efficient and needs replacing to reduce both energy costs and our carbon footprint, as well as making the church warmer during cold weather months. We need to raise about £10,000 to allow us to replace the system with something less costly and more effective.

Please help us to renew the heating system at St John’s Church by making a donation to our Heating Replacement Fund. Payments can be made to the following:
