Sukkat Shalom Reform Synagogue

The Heritage Lottery Fund was set up by Parliament in 1994 to give grants to a wide range of projects involving the local, regional and national heritage of the United Kingdom. They distribute a share of the money raised by the National Lottery for Good Causes.

Ronald Wylde Associates were a major force in the synagogue obtaing a large Heritage Lottery Grant for the refurbishment of the building and for managing and supervising the work. They have practised from the East End of London for over thirty years and has an extensive and widely varied portfolio of commercial, residential, educational, health,church work and now synagogue work.

During February & April 2008 the synagogue was asked to host several visits from adults enrolled at Havering & Barnet Colleges. The purpose of the visits was to be given a talk by Frank Godson on the history of the site on which the synagogue stands, the history of the synagogue and a rounded view of Judaism in general.

Over 4 days 180 people attended the sessions. Frank Godson was assisted by Julian Romain who led the party on behalf of the college.

We are pressing on with new building projects this year, seeking estimates and advice on the refurbishments of the toilets. maintenance work on the floor in the Shul, additional lighting in the synagogue and new windows to the cheder block.
Estimates are being sort and discussions will be going on to decide the best way forward on these projects.
