Why we're fundraising?
For over 160 years All Saints' Church has been serving the Ascot community - and now we need your support!
Our beautiful and historically significant church is in need of repair. Tackling growing damp in our brickwork, attending to the roof, and installing a new heating and lighting system, among other things is estimated to cost in the region of £1 million.
We wish to put the restoration of our church building at the heart of a wider rejuvenation campaign that will see us continuing to serve the needs of our local community for the next 160 years and beyond.
The hymnathon!
On Friday 16 May and Saturday 17 May we’ll be hosting our first ever sponsored hymnathon to raise vital funds for the church. We will be singing straight through our hymn book (Hymns Old and New) – all 571 hymns!
Local schools and churches will be coming along to help lead the singing in what will be a very special community event.
Whether you love to sing, would prefer to sit and enjoy the fantastic music, or just want to support the church, join us at any time from 10am Friday 16 May until 7pm Saturday 17 May (although we will be having a well-deserved break between midnight and 5am).We hope many people will attend at various points and to have a full church for the conclusion on the Saturday evening.
How can you take part?
- Sponsor your favourite hymn(s).
- If you don’t have a favourite hymn, you can just make a donation.
- Drop into the church at any time from 10am Friday to 7pm Saturday (although we’ll be taking a break from midnight to 5am)
- Share our GoFundMe page with your family and friends, and encourage them to come along too.
Refreshments will be available throughout, with a special breakfast being served from 7.00-10.00 on the Saturday morning.
