Who we are
We are a community-minded group focused on the long-term care and future of St Nicholas Church as a place of heritage, identity and belonging.
About us
Who we are, what we do, and why
Friends of St Nicholas is open to anyone interested in supporting St Nicholas Church in Hurst, whether local, further afield, church-goer or not.
What we do
- Fundraise for preservation and improvement projects.
- Create volunteering opportunities for people with different skills.
- Run social and community events that bring people together.
- Support other organisations that want to use the church space.
Why we do it
St Nicholas has been part of village life for centuries, with records referring to a church on this site in 1078. We believe places like this give a village its identity and should be protected, cared for, and used well for future generations.
