A COMMUNITY kitchen will get a drastic makeover thanks to a £4,000 cash injection from a woman's national magazine.

The kitchen, which is part of St David's Church in the heart of Moss Bank estate, is used by hundreds of people from across the region.

The money was given by Candis magazine, which donates 10 per cent of its subscription income to health-related charities and its readers' community projects across the UK.

A number of groups use the church's popular facilities, including a softball club, St Helens Youth Service, a junior rugby club and crime prevention organisations.

Rev Tom Thomas, vicar at St David's said: "We are very grateful to Candis for providing this money as it is a major step forward in our fund-raising efforts to improve our church building. Lots of people will benefit from better kitchen facilities."

The editor of Candis, Debbie Attewell added: "This venue fulfils a vital role in helping to bring people from a large community together and we are really pleased to help with the refurbishment programme."
