Enormous thanks to our project team who have worked on our building project for the last 7 years. Read their diary to find out about the highs and the lows, about putting the Fun back into Fundraising, and about prayers that were answered along the way.

The centre is really being transformed by @PiningtonLtd now, as the interior gets sorted out. Looking amazing!

We've been a bit quiet recently, so thought it was time for a few more photos from Terry. Great to see @PiningtonLtd making progress with fixtures and fittings as well as the decoration work.

We are beginning to see the finished centre emerge from @PiningtonLtd's hard work. The scaffolding has been removed and the internal work is progressing well. Thanks for this week's photos Terry!

After waiting so long, today saw the amazing stained glass window go into our new centre. Take a look below.... or maybe wander past in person next time you are in town?
Thanks Terry, great photos!

Good to see the staff team giving the new building the thumbs up after their tour of The Centre yesterday!

Great to see the history of the old school on this site being remembered in our new building. Literally being set in stone! Progress continuing thanks to @PiningtonLtd.

Cables, pipes, vents and slates have been the focus of this week's work by @PiningtonLtd. We certainly wouldn't want to work out where all those cables have to go!!! Thanks for more great photos, Terry.

Today, Jon, Tim and Karen saw some of the beautiful final samples of the stained glass window designed by Sarah Galloway (below) and we have given the green light for the making of the final product. Exciting progress!

Here are a few more amazing photos from our Cross Bay Walk - we have now raised almost £2,000 for our Heart of the City project. What a fantastic effort and thanks so much to the team that organised this fun event.

The weather was gorgeous for today's Cross Bay Walk. Thanks to everyone who joined us today, we hope you enjoyed it!

Terry has been busy photographing the interior progress by @Pinington this week. We are beginning to get an idea of how the centre will look inside now...
Please don't forget that today is the deadline for sending in your pledge forms for our (hopefully final) fundraise.

[St Thomas Church Lancaster Heart of the City @StTsHOTC]

In Terry's photos from this week, you can see that @PiningtonLtd have started on the internal walls.... Great progress still being made and fascinating to see the inside of the building beginning to take shape!

This week's photos from Terry show how we have been thinking carefully about building sustainably as part of our Heart of the City project. @PiningtonLtd have fitted roof insulation, are re-using bricks from the old centre, and installed new solar panels on the roof. #sustainable
