The team are now in the process of completing the detailed drawings required for the next phase and working hard on some other financial elements. Nigel Lendon, Operations Manager for Revive Church, said: “We recognise that, although buildings are important, we consider what happens in them to be more important.

“This will allow many of the successful community projects, already operational at our current site in Kingswood House, to form the platform for further growth and additional community support.

“These already reach a wide spectrum of Kingswood residents across all ages. In addition we continue to receive interest from other community groups, activities and projects that have need of a venue in Kingswood Parks.”
