Press Release
Rekindling St Andrews,
Kingsbury NW9
We’re delighted to announce that we have received a grant of £75,645 from The National Lottery Heritage Fund for the “Rekindling St Andrew’s, Kingsbury” project. The project seeks to open-up the Grade II* St Andrew's Kingsbury to everyone and to "rekindle" the church’s history and relationship with the wider local communities. Funding has also been awarded by the No. 1 Trust and the Ascot Priory Trust.
During this project, the church will pilot several activities, including a community Sing-along; community research project; Open Days; and new volunteering opportunities. The church will open its doors and welcome in the community to explore the significant church building and offer their thoughts and suggestions on how it can better serve and support the local population. The project also aims to improve the management of the heritage building and strengthen the capacity and resilience of the church’s governing organisation, the Parochial Church Council.
We are hugely grateful to the NLHF for this generous grant, as well as to the Diocese of London and other grant funders for their support in making this project a reality.
We will be keeping everyone updated as the project progresses, so watch this space as there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved!
