Sit down to move on

Are you sitting comfortably? We have something to tell you!

St Saviour’s Church is on a mission. We love to use our space and resources to serve the local Community.

For example, we run two Foodbank sessions each week as we respond to the needs of those in crisis, and we are involved in many community projects across South Cardiff, and have plans to do so much more.

We love to use our space in creative and generous ways whilst also being true to the original purpose of the building and our life together as a worshipping community.

But we have a problem! The chairs at St Saviour’s are over a hundred years old. They have served us well but they’re now on their last legs! But as we move on, with limited resources, it means we have little flexibility to use our building in creative ways for the church and wider community.

We started raising money for new seating a year ago, but at a cost of around £12,000 and with all the other demands involved in the life of St Saviour’s Church, we’re finding it a challenge!

So we’re inviting people to contribute to our most recent development! We need something to sit on! Each chair costs about £160 and we need 70 of them. They will enhance the dignity of the church space, provide comfort and flexibility.

I you’d like to be involved in helping us move on to the next stage of our journey, every pound you give will be so gratefully received. 

For many people in Splott, St Saviour’s Church is a constant and valued feature. You may have been baptised or married here, attended a funeral here, or simply have fond memories of the past.

Whatever your connection, we invite you to be part of the ongoing story of St Saviour’s in Splott. So why not consider donating to our SIT DOWN TO MOVE ON campaign? 

Why are the chairs so expensive?

As a Grade 2 Listed building and a Church we are restricted to what chairs we are allowed to have. There is a rigorous process of application to the Diocese which is open to external scrutiny (such as the Victorian Society and other interested parties)
