This episode, we’re diving deep into one of Swadlincote’s most iconic buildings Gresley Parish Church ⛪️

We sat down with a special guest who's right at the heart of the efforts to save, restore and reimagine this historic space. From navigating the challenges of funding bids to sharing the dreams of what this place could become for the community again …. this episode is full of inspiration, passion, and local pride.

💬 We ask questions like:
✨ What makes Gresley Church so special to Swad?
✨ What led to the much-needed repairs and how’s the National Lottery funding journey going?
✨ Who's been behind the scenes making this happen?
✨ And what’s the vision for the future?

This is more than bricks and mortar….it’s about community, legacy, and hope.
