WHAT IS FOSTAC?
The Friends of St. Andrew’s Church was set up in 2003 to enable the restoration, repair, maintenance, improvement and beautification of St. Andrew’s Church, Sonning.
To meet this objective the Friends organise fundraising events and also invite donations either in the form of outright gifts or by regular giving by standing order. The last major project funded by FoStAC was the installation of the new lighting system at a cost of over £58,000.
We are now looking to recoup funds so that we have sufficient finances available for any emergency repairs or future projects.
