About us
W.I.C.H. group that was formed in 2005/2006 by a group of residents from the Whiston area who tried to save the old workhouse chapel, which once stood on the New Whiston Hospital Site
The group were given all the stained-glass windows and some remaining artefacts from the original chapel; they were then faced with looking for land to build on. They were offered land in Foxes Bank cemetery in Lickers Lane Whiston.
The group has worked diligently and industriously to overcome all obstacles. To date, you have helped raise for the group £111.143.20, But we still require an estimated balance of £120,000 to complete the project this amount will change with the cost of materials .
The group, along with so many wonderful businesses and local people, have raised a fantastic amount of money already with fundraising events and donations.
We were hoping to do the build in stages. However, a staged build is not possible. Hence, we need funding for the complete build. This is a big ask. But we know how much the people want and need this project. It will provide a quiet place of reflection for people to remember their loved ones. A need has been identified for a disabled toilet facility. This has been included in the plan. Families will have a place to sit and talk in private at their most vulnerable time.
