What is it?
We will be looking at the value of maintenance and how to identify small tasks that can be done easily and cheaply to slow the rate of decay in your church building. Dr Claire Strachan, Church Buildings Development Officer will talk about, ‘A Stitch in Time’ maintenance and how to develop a maintenance plan. We will also be welcoming Janine Rusby from Engaging Heritage who will discuss ways to engage the local community in the care of your church; and highlight strategies of how to grow your volunteer base.
Plus, architect, Simon Bird, from Flying Buttress Architecture will outline the purpose of Quinquennial Inspections, how to read them and how best to work with your architect. At the end of the session there will be a practical workshop helping you to spot common maintenance issues. Hot drinks and a light buffet lunch will be provided.
