Scampton Community & RAF War Graves Heritage Centre

Scampton Church Community Partnership is awarded substantial grants by The National Lottery Heritage Fund & The FCC Communities Foundation to create the Scampton Community & RAF War Graves Heritage Centre.

Scampton Church has received a grant of £150,923 from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and an FCC Communities Foundation grant of £99,090, for an exciting heritage and community project to create the Scampton Community & RAF War Graves Heritage Centre in Scampton village. The project is costing £343,000 and is made possible by money raised by National Lottery players, the Landfill Communities Fund and also by public donations.

Working in partnership with RAF Scampton, The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC), local schools, Scampton Parish Council, Springline Good Neighbours Scheme and The Dambusters Inn, the project aims to create a vibrant and welcoming venue that will benefit the whole community. This includes local schools and other organisations which cater for the young and old in the area.

The grants will enable the installation of a new lit path, all access wc, welcome and refreshment area, and central heating.

Well done Bill

Well done Bill for securing a grant from the Bishops transformation fund for the purchase of an automated rear projection screen for song words and video, to replace the free standing screen that we have been using for the past year.
