2017 marks a new start for St Oswald’s Church in Winwick.
After years of ongoing essential work to help save this beautiful church, the scaffolding and covers are due to come off in early summer.
To coincide with this new beginning a group of village residents have set up a fund to try and raise money for the purchase of a new, environmentally friendly and reusable 15ft Christmas Tree with low energy LED lights, which will sit proudly outside the renovated church each Christmas, for many years to come.
AND WE NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!
Local Parish Council funding for none essential items such as Christmas events has been dramatically cut in recent years meaning there is very little available for a new tree.
So the fundraising group have planned a number of events across the year, such as themed evenings at Winwick Leisure centre, a stall selling cream teas and scones at Winwick carnival in July, sponsored walks, discos, raffles / tombola’s, school events, and many more.
If you would like to donate to our cause or if you are interested in attending one of the amazing planned events, please go to our pages below or email us on savewinwickschristmas@gmail.com
Thank you
