Good news for our Parish! 🎉

It’s lovely to see local projects receiving a helping hand, with two grants supporting our community and the places that matter to us all.

🏡 £900 for Sutton St Edmund Village Hall to help towards this year’s Party in the Park

⛪ £500 on its way to the Parochial Church Council to help towards repairs to the cemetery path
