The Keys Appeal


St Peter's Church in Action

Extending our building to extend our services

The Parish Church of St. Peters South Weald is currently engaged in a major refurbishment project to include the construction of a new community hall, kitchen and toilet facilities.

So far we have raised
£518,326
but we need £750,000.

It's very exciting that on the 1st March 2010 we were able to start our building work and even more exciting that it is due for completion at the beginning of November. Although the Appeal has yet to reach its target we are in a position to proceed because we have realised funds from the sale of a property bequeathed to us many years ago. We will, however, continue to fund raise for the project as ultimately, we wish to use as little of this money as possible.

With the opening of the Belli Centre we now have meeting rooms, a kitchen and other facilities fit for the 21st century. We are now turning our attention to the refurbishment of the West End of the Church.

The new hall is to be named the Belli Centre.
Charles Belli was vicar at St. Peter's from 1823-77, and was responsible for rebuilding our church building in 1868. It seemed appropriate to the Parochial Church Council to name the new building after someone who himself preserved and modernised the church for future generations.

Grow seeds of faith

  • In our worship, to the glory of God


  • With children, giving them faith by which to live
