This practical workshop took place on Thursday 16th May 2024. These are the resources that were shared at the workshop which should help parishes identify routine maintenance issues and understand what to do next.
This training took place in Hertford during May 2024. Liz West, the Church Buildings Maintenance Officer, led a practical workshop aimed at helping parishes identify routine maintenance issues and understanding what to do next. The group were able to walk around the church and identify possible issues and how to tackle them.
We were also joined by Diana Spencer, previously with Bats in Churches, who talked about bats and maintenance.
