Raise the Roof!

St Magnus Church roof is old - not a bad thing, but worn - not so good.  This is becoming more of  a problem as damage is increasing as weather and time wear hard on worn areas.

We are aiming to 'Raise the Roof'.  It is estimated that the repairs will cost £414,138

We have been raising the funds as a Church through various social events and in addition by encouraging everyone to buy a roof slate(s).

Here are some costs:

£5      - 1 roof slate

£50    - 1 metre long roof slates

£45    - 1 metre of iron pipes

£70    - 1 metre² of stone walling

£100  - 1 metre² of roof slates

£250  - New Ladder for the Bell Tower

£311  - A section of Stained Glass

The roof needs approximately 8,000 slates.  Would you be prepared to buy some?
