National charity Friends of Friendless Churches (FFC) has worked to save 71 churches over its 70 year history. The group has now turned its attention to St Helen’s, Biscathorpe, in Lincolnshire and St Tyfi’s, Dinefwr, Carmarthenshire. St Helen’s was built in 1847 and is a Grade II listed building. In a bid to save both St Helen’s and St Tyfi’s, it is hoping to raise £650,000 from donors.
