From October 2014 the switching on of the floodlights can be sponsored during the winter months by anyone to commemorate an anniversary, a special occassion or some other event. . During 2012 the PCC signed up to take part in the 'Suffolk Shines' project and the church was floodlit with some of the Olympic colours.
