Wanting to develop your church building? Come to Holy Trinity, Prestwood on Wednesday19th November, where the Church Buildings Team is offering parishes planning development and reordering projects the opportunity to spend a day learning how to make the permissions process go smoothly, across various areas and drawing on successful case studies.
This free training day will enable you to benefit from the expertise of a range of professionals from both within the Diocese and further afield, and the experiences of parishes who have improved their mission and outreach through changes to the church buildings within their own communities. You will discover the tools you need to get your project off to the right start, and ultimately, help make it successful. In order to keep the event free for attendees, we request that you bring your own lunch, but other refreshments will be provided.
Topics for presentations include:
- Vision, strategy, behaviour and buildings: How can your Parish Development Adviser help?
- Making a start: How the Church Buildings Team can help you plan
- What is a statement of significance and why does it matter?
- Commissioning an Architect's Options Appraisal
- Been there, done that- case studies from the parish perspective
- How the Diocesan Development Fund can help you
