We are delighted to announce that the St Helen's Centre Appeal has been awarded a grant of £999,600 from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Thanks to money raised by National Lottery, the project can go begin and enable the significant repairs and refurbishment work on St Helen’s Church which will save the Church for future generations and create a new valuable resource for the Island. Work is expected to start this spring and last approx. for 12 months.
Derek Green, Lundy General Manager commented: "The Church is of outstanding importance to the Island's heritage, community and visitor alike. Thanks to the National Lottery and all our supporters, we now have a fantastic opportunity to restore the church to its former glory and as well as maintaining a place for worship, create a new centre for education, research and study."
Reverend Brenda Jacobs – Team Rector said: "We are absolutely thrilled at the news of the substantial award from the National Lottery which will help secure St Helen’s Church Lundy for generations to come."
