Sponsor A Chair @ St_Elvans
St Elvan Aberdare is a busy Church and community venue, hosting many special services, exhibitions, musical events, and is used as a meeting and conference facility as well as holding regular Church services, baptisms, weddings and funerals
The Church has recently undergone a massive refurbishment programme, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Pen-y-Cymoedd. Part of the refurbishment has included the removal of the pews, which will be replaced by individual chairs. St Elvan has selected the Treske St Winfrid chair, which complements the style of the Church and of the other seating, which will be used to complete the refurbishment. The new chairs are made in oak, with a solid wood shaped back-rest. This is a strong and comfortable chair that can be linked, is easy to use and is easily set out or stored. The back-rest is split to provide an extremely comfortable back support to people of different heights. The traditional ‘H’ Frame design is very strong with all joints being mortice and tenon. The seats are made from sea-grass, which is extremely hardwearing and comfortable
We would like to invite individuals, local businesses and community groups to contribute to this appeal by sponsoring a chair or the required storage solutions, to support the Community Heritage Project and at the same time, recognise a loved one or a special occasion. Each chair that is sponsored will bear a plaque with the name requested by the sponsor; your name, church
or parish, or company
Each chair will cost £300, which will include the provision of the commemorative plaque. If you would like to sponsor one or more chairs, please complete the form below and tick the ‘Gift Aid’ box if you are a UK taxpayer
A message from Father Robert Davies:
“Our busy Church needs to be flexible in order to host different events and services. Now that the refurbishment has been undertaken it is again the heart of our community and is a meeting place for everyone. The new chairs will greatly add to the beauty of our Church and will help with the day-to-day activities”
We hope that you will agree to contribute to our Sponsor A Chair Appeal and look forward to hearing from you.

Key Points
The new chairs are hardwearing and are extremely comfortable
They are easy to handle
They can be easily stacked and stored when not in use. They have been designed so that they can be moved and stacked where necessary. There is therefore no undertaking to keep a sponsored chair in any part, or position, within the Church
While the chairs are expected to last for many years and every effort will be made to avoid
damage, no guarantee can be given that any one chair will be in the Church for any specific
period of time
The St Elvan Community Heritage Project reserves the right to approve the inscription on the
commemorative plaque
All sponsorship will be acknowledged and the lettering on the plaque/s will be confirmed with
the sponsored
A list of all sponsors will be specially bound and placed into the Church Archive
