ST. LEONARD'S DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
The heart of the scheme has been to double
the size of the main meeting room at the back of church,
achieved by moving the partition forward by 15 feet.
At the same time a lobby has been created in the area immediately
inside the glass doors that lead into church. A staircase
leads off this lobby to give access to a balcony above the main
meeting room and a new first floor meeting room in the north-west
corner of the building. Also in this corner of the church, on
the ground floor, there is a new kitchen and two toilets (one
of which has disabled access, bringing the church into
line with disability legislation).
St. Leonard's will now be much more useful to both
the congregation and the community of Padiham.
We have flourishing Sunday School, Toddler, Rainbow
and Brownie groups, meeting in the church rooms, which will benefit
from the increased space and improved facilities. We would like to start other
groups in the future; in particular we hope to provide more
opportunities for senior citizens to meet in the daytime
and we have identified the need for a boys' uniformed
organisation based at St. Leonard's.
Catering for all events and meetings will now
be much easier with the creation of the new kitchen.
As fundraising continues to raise the remainder of the money
for the alterations, new events are being planned, details
of which are shown on this page and on the
calendar.
