Rather than rely on traditional fundraising, 1170 is a firm believer in raising funds which having fun! Rather than run a lot of events each year, we would rather focus on a small number of events that really appeal to the local community and help drive our view that the Church and Community are forever interlinked.
Our regular Heritage Day will take place on 12th/13th September 2026.
St Nicolas Church will be open with a variety of activities taking place, including a few new ones. So pop in to view the historic registers, take a tour of the church yard and bell tower, listen to the organ recital and if its all too much – there’s tea and cake.
All events during the day are free although donations are welcome. You may also see our street collectors along the high street during the day or receive our the regular leaflet through your door.
The heritage day is our key fundraising event in the year, so do help us protect the church building for future generations and come and see us on the day in this ancient community building.
London Community Gospel Choir – uplifting live gospel music performance
Founded in 1982 by Rev. Bazil Meade MBE, the London Community Gospel Choir (LCGC) has grown into the UK’s premier contemporary gospel choir, captivating audiences around the world with their powerful fusion of gospel, soul, jazz, funk, and R&B.
Their mission is simple: to spread love and light through music.

Known for their high-energy, feel-good shows, they never fail to uplift audiences with a message of hope and joy.
LCGC’s influence spans the globe, with historic performances at the FA Cup Final at Wembley, Glastonbury, Live 8, World AIDS Day, the Grammy Awards, and multiple appearances at the Royal Albert Hall. In 2022, they were personally invited by Buckingham Palace to perform at Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, a global broadcast seen by nearly one billion viewers.
Their collaborators read like a who’s who of the music world: Elton John, Madonna, Paul McCartney, Adele, Annie Lennox, Sam Smith, Ellie Goulding, Gregory Porter, Blur, Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey, and many more.
