East Midlands Synod has awarded St Andrew’s a grant of £50,000 over five years to employ a Family Worker. The grant is being matched by donations from the congregation. This will enable the church to extend its support to children, young people and families and reach out to the local community. This will be a part-time appointment for the equivalent of 3 days a week and will involve work in the day time and also evenings and weekends. The post will be advertised shortly and recruitment will take place during the summer. We hope it will be possible to appoint someone to start work in September 2025.
