What the charity does

Grace Christian Trust was formed in 2010. In its first year, the trust purchased a large office building on an extensive site with the purpose of donating it to a local church who intend to build a new centre to serve the town. This site will be donated to the church if and when they are granted appropriate planning permission by Tandridge District Council.
