The money, awarded by WREN’s FCC Community Action Fund, will be used to install a new kitchen and toilets, and improve community access at Holy Trinity & St Oswald’s Church in Finningley.

WREN is a not-for-profit business that awards grants for community, biodiversity and heritage projects from funds donated by FCC Environment through the Landfill Communities Fund.
Penny Beaumont, WREN’s grant manager for Yorkshire, said: “We’re delighted to be supporting the Doncaster - Finningley Church Community Project and pleased our funding will make such a difference to so many groups of people in Finningley and the surrounding
villages. WREN is always happy to consider grant applications for projects that benefit local communities and we’re looking forward to this one having a positive impact very soon.”
Neil Redeyoff said the new and improved kitchen, toilets and community space will be ready to use by August 2017.
