New Facilities at St Andrew's Nearly Finished
After over five years of fund raising and amazing support from so many in the Thursford community, the new toilet and kitchenette are now complete.
The toilet, fully fitted out for able bodied and disabled use, has been installed in the previous vestry and the kitchenette designed to fold away to become a church "chest" when not in use.
Sadly, Covid restrictions prevent events from currently taking place but a 'celebratory opening' will be planned in the future when conditions allow.
