Giving 

St. Peter and St. Paul's Church costs on average approximately £1950 per week to run. This is the inevitable cost of keeping the church building and church centre running, maintaining a churchyard and ensuring effective ministry to the whole parish community. People are usually surprised to learn that parish churches receive no automatic external or central funding (with the exception of occasional grant funding for specific needs). All the costs have to be covered by contributions from the parish community; mostly from direct giving, and a small proportion in the form of fees for services such as weddings and funerals and voluntary donations.

The best form of income, as for any charitable organisation, is regular and therefore predictable income:

Regular Giving by Standing Order 

However, other ways of giving are:

Online Donating   |   Easyfundraising   |   Legacy Giving  

The Finance Committee (a sub committee of the PCC) continues to try to address the financial difficulties caused particularly by the pandemic.

If you can give anything at all - thank you.

Gift Aid

If you are a current giver or able to begin giving - thank you. If you pay income tax, please don't forget to fill in a Gift Aid Declaration. Currently charities are able to reclaim 25p in the £ -  which makes a huge difference to total income. Your Gift Aid Declaration, like any other financial information you supply, will only be seen by Tania Dosoruth (Giving Secretary).
