Our Position in Premier Digital Awards 2016

For the second year running, our website www.kingswisbech.org.uk has reached 'Finalist' position in the national Premier Digital Awards. We were shortlisted along with four other organisations in the 'Accessibility Award' category. We are very pleased to have made it this far again, however we did not advance to the final three on this occasion.

Matt McChlery's blog however has advanced to the final three in the 'Most Inspiring Leadership Blog' and will be attending the black-tie awards ceremony and dinner in London in November. Well done!

New Chairperson of Wisbech Churches Together

Matt McChery (Chairperson) and Keith Aplin (Vice-Chair)

Matt McChlery was duly elected as the new Chairperson of Wisbech Churches Together at the annual AGM on 17 June 2015. He is Director of Music and one of the Worship Leaders at The King’s Church, Wisbech as well as a teacher at Magdalene House Prep School. The former Chairperson, Keith Aplin stepped down after many years of dedicated service. We wish to say a heartfelt thank you to Keith for all that he has done for Churches Together as Chairperson. He made the decision to step down as the Wisbech Foodbank is demanding more of his time and attention.
