Who we are

ASTRA Community Projects is a subcommittee of the Parochial Church Council of All Saints, Bow Brickhill. Its major project is to re-build the Church Hall in the village, which will ensure that this community building can continue for at least another 50 years to provide a base for a wide range of village groups and activities, including its role as home to the Pre-School.

Data held about supporters and associates

Our primary means of communication is by email. We also communicate to supporters and associates by paper means, normally through the monthly Bow Brickhill Village Newsletter. Our website also provides information on events and progress.

We collect data when individuals join our email list or offer to be on our paper lists of associates and supporters. The provision of email addresses is essential to enable us to undertake our legitimate interests.  Supporters and associates understand that information they provide will be held on a database to which only members of the subcommittee have access and then only for ASTRA Community Projects’ purposes.
