Organisation Name: St Marys Church
Project Name: Kitchen Refurbishment
St Mary’s Church of England was built in 1888 as a place of community in the heart of Bearwood. It continues as a place of worship, and to organise and host community activities.
The Church is open 6 days a week. They offer a food pantry, a toddler group, a warm space drop-in café, a repair café, a Slimming World group and annual larger events.
The organisation has identified the need for new kitchen equipment, as they have groups utilising the kitchen to prepare food. They also aim to start cooking classes for the local community to teach them about healthy eating.
The organisation would like to apply for CIL funding to purchase a fridge, cooker, grill and extractor fan. This will enable the group to run their sessions and cooking classes effectively.
Amount of CIL funding being requested is £4,637.20
