Manchester District Council is working hard to support and assist our churches.
As energy prices have soared in recent times, we recognise the difficulties our churches face in keeping open, providing a warm and hospitable environment for their congregations.
Churches should by now have received the £250 grant from the SNU to mitigate the rising cost of energy, however, we are pleased to announce that your District Council would like to help further by offering our Manchester District churches a one off payment of £100 to ease the burden further.
To avail your church of this grant, we would ask church secretaries to email Matthew Mold, Manchester District Secretary on
mdcsnusecretary@gmail.com, and he will be pleased to make the necessary arrangements for payment.
Thank you to all our church committee's and volunteers for your hard work and energy in keeping churches open.
