BISLEY CHARITIES
ALL SAINTS' CHURCH BISLEY PCC COMMUNITY FUND
In June 2026, the world-renowned violinist Cathy Thomson and a group of equally talented friends played an amazing concert in Bisley's All Saints' Church. It followed an equally wonderful performance the year before.
Part of the proceeds went towards the upkeep of the church, but some of it has been used to set up a Community Fund.
This is intended to provide small, one-off grants to assist individuals experiencing hardship and other needs arising within Bisley.
The fund is now ready to receive applications.
If you have a need, or know of someone who does, please contact any member of the fund’s action group – Graham Gill ([email protected]), Leigh McGinty, or Elizabeth Cowen – for an application form.
