MP congratulates Sittingbourne Methodist Church for winning funding award

Local MP, Gordon Henderson has congratulated Sittingbourne Methodist Church for winning a funding award from SITA Trust.

SITA Trust distributes the landfill tax credits donated by SITA UK to enhance communities and enrich nature through the Landfill Communities Fund.

The Sittingbourne Methodist Church Building Development Fund was awarded £50,000 to help generate a welcoming environment in the hall and rooms to the rear of the church which will permit and encourage a wide range of community activities. This will be done by:

• Improving access into and around the building
• Maximising the use and flexibility of all available community space
• Reducing the environmental and financial costs of heating, lighting and plumbing by installation of new equipment
• Providing professional standard catering facilities

Mr Henderson said,

“I am delighted that the Sittingbourne Methodist Church have won this award and they can use the funds to create a welcoming community facility for users of their hall.”
