August 2015, 92 year-old Vera Elward took a sponsored microflight to raise money for the church organ fund. When she was 95 years old she raised more money by flying a glider for an hour. She also wrote a poetry book to add to her money -raising efforts. In total she raised about £4000 towards the renovation of the church organ.
