Building Fund: Phase Two

Trinity Road Church · Paper to the annual meeting

Pledged So Far

$868k

Of the $1.4M Phase Two target

Sixty-two per cent of the sum. Work cannot begin until the whole of it is committed.

Where We Are

Phase Two rebuilds the hall and adds a lift, so the building is usable seven days a week rather than two.

$868k is pledged and $532k is not. The builder's quote holds until March, and the price has already been renegotiated once.

Four fifths of what is left sits on one line: the one-off gifts nobody has been asked for yet.
