A Westbury church has launched a fundraiser to pay for essential repairs to its organ.
All Saints Church needs to raise £10,000 to keep its three-manual Bevington organ in playing order.
The church has set up a sponsorship scheme for the organ’s keys and pedals to help with the fundraising.
“The organ still relies on mechanical workings, many of which are now in desperate need of replacement,” said the organist and director of music at the church, Ian McManus. “Sadly, some parts are simply unplayable.”
“To keep the music ringing out for Sunday services, Christmas and Easter celebrations (and more!), concerts and visiting organists, we need to raise £10,000 for essential repairs.”
“With three keyboards (54 keys each) and 30 pedals, every contribution makes a difference! Every gift brings us closer to restoring the sounds that fill our church with joy,” Ian added.
To sponsor a key for £10 or a pedal for £15, contact Ruth Hann at wcw2@whtministry.org.uk, or give your donation in person. Alternatively, donate online at https://givealittle.co/c/asorganfund scan the QR code.
