Westborough is the local Primary School within the community that is the parish of Barming Heath. Rev. Chris goes into the school on a regular basis for assemblies, and, from time to time, the school come into St Andrew's Church.

We would now like to develop the relationship with the school further by setting up a Christian based after school club starting in September 2019. The head teacher, Mrs Crittenden, is supportive of this proposal.

This would be a three year project to determine if this a suitable means by which to develop our community links and grow the church. The means to do this requires somebody who is used to working with Primary schools and has the suitable skills to work with young children.

Therefore the intention is to employ Fiona Higgs (Children's & Families Minister for St Nicholas' Church) for five hours per week (term time) to set up and run this project. The cost, over three years, has been estimated at £6000 and myself, the churchwardens and the PCC ask you to consider contributing to this exciting project for which it is necessary to have full funding in place before commencing.

This is clearly a leap of faith but it is important that if we, as a church, are going to engage seriously in a changing world we need to step out in that faith and see where things go

If you feel able to support us financially in this project please complete a form and return it, with cash/cheque/BACS payment, to Jim Lakeland or Stella Blackburn.
