All the money raised will be split between these four charities: Our own Friends of St. Mary’s Church, Wycombe Homeless Connection, Cancer Research UK and The Rotary Club of Beaconsfield’s charities.

Thank you to all who have volunteered to help at Lighthouse already. With a month to go they are still urgently looking for volunteers. For the list of specific roles still to be filled, please click here. You can sign up here. Lighting project We are pleased with progress on the project to upgrade our church lighting systems. The work undertaken by Anthony J Smith Lighting is likely to last 4-6 weeks and should be completed in mid August. This is an upgrade to the church lighting system including an environmentally positive move to LED lighting and the development of additional, flexible lighting options for church services and events including concerts and recitals. All planned services and church and outside events will still go ahead while the work is underway although there will be equipment, including at some points scaffolding, that has to be left in church (made safe and tidied of course). The church will be kept open as far as possible although there may be occasions when it has to be closed for health and safety reasons. We will make every effort to let the church community, visitors and external users know all arrangements as far in advance as possible but would ask for patience and forbearance as the work programme goes forward. The Dove Café Wins Top Accolade from the Bucks Free Press The Bucks Free press has named the Dove Café as one of the best independent cafés in Buckinghamshire to visit during the heatwave.
