Volunteers
We couldn’t do it without you!
We are really grateful for the time you give to the Project.
It's important that you keep a note of the hours you have worked on anything relating to the Church History / Open Churches Project. Timesheets are a necessary part of the project because they help to release the grant we have from the Heritage Lottery Fund, and in turn mean that you can claim any approved expenses such as travel expenses, so that you are not out of pocket.
Please send your timesheets to Heather Sirrel on a regular basis.
If you've run out of timesheets you can download an electronic version here to send back by post or email.
