St Peter’s Church Finances

It costs over £1,200 a week to keep St Peter’s running. This is money that has to be raised by the PCC, mainly from the giving of those who attend church. Unfortunately in recent years our costs, such as heating and insurance, have increased significantly while our congregation has not recovered from the impact of Covid. For the first time this year the PCC will not be able to meet all its commitments. The PCC would therefore be grateful for any support from the local community. If you would like to contribute to the costs of running our church this can be done on the Ways to Give website www.waystogive.org.uk/evercreech-st-peter where there are details of how to make a BACS payment, set up a standing order, leave a gift in your will, or raise funds while you shop online.

St Peter’s is a magnificent Grade I listed medieval church and the PCC also needs to raise funds to maintain the building. If you would rather make a donation towards the fabric of St Peter’s Church please indicate that it is for the Fabric Fund and it will be put into a ring-fenced fabric fund, rather than be used for day to day running expenses. As well as giving online, donations can be given to the Churchwarden, put in the wall safe by the font or sent to our Treasurer: Rob Sage, Portway Farm, Batcombe, Shepton Mallet BA4 6BR. (Cheques payable to Evercreech PCC please).
