The church has been advised that if nothing is done the spire will fall in on itself.

A mammoth fundraising initiative has begun to raise £100,000 to support the future of St.Catherine’s Church in Burbage.

Half the money is needed to save the church's spire as it is sinking into the ground.

The church has been advised that the spire could fall in on itself as the brickwork holding up the steel girders is beginning to crack.

John Bevington, a project manager for the committee working on the fundraising told Fosse 107 what work needs to be done.

The other £50,000 is needed to invest in a glass partition that will allow the church to be used as a multi-functional space.

Father Andrew Hall told Fosse 107 how they want the community to help with ideas about how to raise the funds.
