Story
We did it !
We braved the rain, wind and as we got closer to the pike the sun came out and we were met my a beautiful rainbow at the top of the pike ! We all had such a great time, and the children were amazing!
Thank you all so much for supporting us with your kind sponsors !
Some of the Yr6 children and their families from Euxton C of E are coming together to Hike to the top of Rivington Pike on Sunday 3rd October.
We are raising funds to help contribute for the repairs desperately needed for the church roof in our community.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
In recent years it has become increasingly evident that our beautiful 17th century church roof is leaking with copious amounts of water coming through. There is significant damp internally, but this is just the visible part. The issue is around the chancel arch, coping stones, a lack of lead flashing and ridge tiles. There have also been several other issues identified such as problems with the timbers (which hold up the roof). If these, and other issues are not addressed imminently there is the potential for the roof to collapse and render the building not fit for use. We have been informed that estimated costs may be in the region of £220,000!!! This was a devastating blow. we are keen to address the building as soon as possible. We want our church to continue to be a place of worship for our community not just for current generations, but for generations to come. Thank you!
