Room Rent - 1st Rochdale (St Thomas) Baden Powell Scouts
Donation protected
From 1st May we will no longer be a sponsored group of the church. The church have told us this is due to a conflict of interest as we are a multi faithed group, which we have been for nearly 10 years. We will still be meeting in our home of St Thomas but now have to factor in room hire out of our weekly
subs, which is already stretched with catering above and beyond for our community.
Over the years, the group has always ‘given back’ to the church & community. From litter picks to ground maintenance, yearly remembrance displays, coffee mornings, sleepovers raising money for the church, church parades, and the emergency supply scheme we ran during the pandemic to keep the congregation & community safe (and decorated by the mayor)
Times move on, but our love for the community won’t! ♥️ ⭐️
It pains us to do this, because we are normally the ones who support others, but our minimal subs are already so incredibly stretched out, without fundraising for rent we fear we would have to close, which we simply cannot do!
We are aiming to cover our first 6 months of rent for the hire of the hall at the church. Thank you so much in advance xx
