Heart of the City Project
At St Thomas' Church, Lancaster, we are looking to repair the current church building and replace our existing church centre with a modern, highly efficient and highly flexible number of spaces for use by the church family but also by the local community.

We are delighted to announce that we have received £5,000 from the Lancaster University Wind Turbine Community Benefits Fund. We shall be using this grant towards the solar panels which will be installed on the roof of our new centre. We are most grateful to the university for their donation.
