Team Idmiston, All Saints’ Church, Idmiston
This volunteer team are an exemplar for community engagement, working closely as a team, with each team member playing to their strengths. They completely keep the church running smoothly, with a rota for opening and closing, regular cleaning and generally keeping a watchful eye over this secluded church in Wiltshire. The immediate community around the church is small, which makes the dedication of this team all the more impressive. The volunteers ran 6 successful events over the last year and raised well over £1,000 for the CCT. They have also had to deal with adversity as there was an attempt to steal the lead from the church roof, which caused leaks and damages to the whole building. The volunteers rallied together to repair the damage and get the church back on its feet, ready to run the next programme of events which will include a theatre performance and an exhibition detailing the social history of the families buried in the church graveyard.
