Story
Sunrise Walk Trek Snowdon
St Oswald's Church is a special space for the community in Bollington. The building is beautiful and historical, welcoming and flexible. Modern audio-visual equipment would increase its accessibility to the community and enhance services and events especially with the schools and young people. But there is another very caring and loving need for AV equipment in St Oswald's, because anyone in Bollington can turn to St Oswald's to hold a funeral and increasingly bereaved families want to show precious videos and photos of their loved ones. It is so sad that they cannot do this when the technology exists. Audio visual equipment would enable this small comfort at their time of grief. St Oswald's belongs to the people of Bollington and is funded by the people of Bollington, so anything given to St Oswald's is a loving gift for the community.
As Bollington Hearing Centre is in the heart of Bollington our job is to ensure people can communicate. We want to help raise much needed funds so that anyone accessing the service at St Oswald's can hear as well as see what is being featured and to minimise costs to families holding services such a funerals and celebrations by not having to hire in equipment each time to support the event.
We will be setting off very early on the 22nd September to do a Sunrise Walk up Snowdon. Bollington Hearing Centre and another Bollington business, Treks to the Wrecks, who will be guiding the trek, will set off at 4am to walk up Snowden to reach the summit in time for the sunrise. It's an exciting challenge for our team, we are all looking forward to and hope to raise as much money as possible for the Bollington community.
