Dear residents and friends of Sunderland, Overton and Middleton villages.
The Sunderland Point Mission Hall Heritage Centre, thanks to grant funding from the Lancashire Environmental Fund and other generous donations of land, money and time is about to have a toilet and kitchen facilities put in place by the end of spring.
This means the Mission Hall Heritage Centre is now entering an exciting new phase where it can be utilised in a practical and effective way for general use in education, social activities and the arts, Or potentially any other stimulating and positive way that can be beneficial for the community.
As a charity the Mission Hall Heritage Centre relies entirely on volunteers from the local community. This includes help with ongoing maintenance and repair such as:
Improving Paintwork internally and externally;
Joinery repair;
Replacement of boundary fencing;
Cutting back of overgrown boundary hedges and general management of the outside area. if you can help with any of these please let us know.
Other help required includes: cleaning, sitting and minding exhibitions and of course admin and fundraising. If possible we would like help with managing the important ‘Tramper service’ that we provide, which gives disabled people the opportunity to explore SP using an all terrain mobility scooter.
We also now need volunteers to step forward to suggest, propose or even hopefully curate an exhibition for this summer. We would like the proposals or ideas to be within the theme of local life. This could be the natural world, environmental issues or studies; artwork of the area including photography or possibly educational or historical presentations, maybe even music and drama?
If you think you could help with suggestions for the above or would like to offer your services for any other voluntary role helping with the Mission Hall please contact us here or talk to one of the trustees.
Many thanks.
Trustees of the Mission Hall Heritage Centre
