The Lantern Community Centre project
'Room for Improvement' and some great progress to report!
But we still need your help!
Exciting times as in early January 2025 the construction of the basic shell of the Lantern Community Centre was finally completed! Now, we must continue to raise sufficient funds to fit out the inside of the beautiful new building so that it can be used and enjoyed by the people of Stone.
The shell of the building is currently completely empty inside!

Our first target is to raise £95,000 which will allow us to completely fit out the small meeting room, the lobby area and the toilets.
Like St Mary’s Church, the new centre is there to be used by the people of Stone.
Some of the proposed uses of it could include a community café, toddler group, lunch club, one to one support sessions, men's club, craft groups, health and well being advice, or indeed any local community activity.
Donations to help us fit out the interior of our beautiful new Lantern Community Centre can be made in any of these ways:-
Directly at church (using the special Gift Aid envelopes provided if you are a tax payer),
Through our 'Give a Little' app,
Through our Just Giving account
or by scanning our new QR code with your smart phone or tablet
Thank you
