Covers Bognor Regis helps Felpham church tidy war memorial graves
Covers Timber and Builders Merchants in Bognor Regis has helped St Mary’s Church in Felpham to tidy its war memorial graves. The company donated three bulk bags of topsoil, which was used to neaten the site and prepare the ground for reseeding. Reverend
John Challis, from St Mary’s, said: “We at St Mary’s are humbled by the generosity of Covers. War graves are important and much respected sites of remembrance. We are so grateful to our volunteers, in particular Jim Delaney, David Bidwell and Graham Matthews. They clean, maintain and manage these places with much dedication and love. Many people incorrectly assume they have to travel to mainland Europe to pay their respects to those who gave their all for our freedom, but they don’t. With the wonderful and generous donation from Covers we will be able to bring the state of the graves to the highest standard.” Paul Allwright, Depot Manager at Covers Bognor Regis, said: “We were honoured to be part of rejuvenating such significant sites at St Mary’s. Maintaining the memorials is hugely important and we were pleased to help in any way we could.”
Rosie Hiles, Corporate Development Manager at Chichester Festival Theatre, added: “We are thrilled to be
continuing our partnership with Covers this year. Our corporate supporters play a vital role in all we do here and are very much part of the fabric of CFT. Their generosity allows us to expand our outreach work in the local community and contributes to the quality of our productions on stage. Simply, we couldn’t do what we do without them.”
