  5. theochairWe need 20 new ‘Theo’ chairs at Great Hampden that we can use for additional seating, and make possible more flexible use of our space.

    Designed specifically for churches and cathedrals by British designer Simon Pengelly, ‘Theo’ is a lightweight, strong and durable wooden chair.

    ‘Theo’ has won numerous awards including the Church of England’s ‘Design a Church Chair’ competition and has been recognised by the Worshipful Company of Furniture Makers as an outstanding lightweight chair.

    By making a donation of £325 to sponsor a chair, you will be playing an important part in help our church reach its potential as a worshipping space and venue for small groups.

    Sponsorship can be made by an individual, a family or a group of people. Sponsoring a seat in remembrance of someone who has died is a special way to honour their memory. We will record every sponsor and loved one remembered in a special book to be kept in perpetuity.
