Sponsor a hymn & help All Saints' raise money for repairs!

Over the 16th and 17th May we hosted our first ever sponsored hymnathon to raise vital funds for the church. We sang straight through our hymn book (Hymns Old and New) – all 571 hymns!

To help us, we were joined by 12 visiting choirs, five organists, two pianists, other musicians, and several hundred unique singers.

The final top 10 hymns (based on sponsorship) were:

1. Love divine, all loves excelling

2. My song is love unknown

3. Praise, my soul, the King of heaven

4. O Lord, my God (How great thou art)

5. How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

6. An now, O Father, mindful of the love

7. O love that wilt not let me go

8. An did those feet in ancient times (Jerusalem)

9. The day thou gavest, Lord is ended

10. Hills of the north, rejoice

A huge thank you to everyone who has sponsored us so far. All funds raised will go towards our church restoration project.

We know that some people still wish to donate, and whilst you cannot sponsor a favourite hymn anymore, you can still donate to the overall cause. Thank you.

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.
