The Leicestershire Historic Churches Trust grant aids historic churches and chapels of all Christian denominations for repairs, restoration, and some community facilities. The Trust’s main fund raising is through the annual sponsored Ride+Stride event. Walkers and cyclists, for example, seek sponsors for the number of churches or chapels they visit on the event day. St. Mary’s will be open for Ride+Stride from 10am until 5pm. The money raised by each participant will be shared equally between St. Mary’s and the Trust. If you would like to take part, please contact the Parish Admin office admin@stmaryincharnwood.org.uk, to be given the necessary details for visiting churches while being sponsored.
