Supporting your parish church

This year, it will cost around £30,000 (about £600 per week) to run Thanington Parish Church, to serve the local community, and to do the routine maintenance of the historic St Nicholas Church building. We will also need to raise additional funds for repairs to the church buillding, especially the roof.

Where does this money come from? Mostly from the regular giving of people in the congregation, occasional fund-raising events and one-off donations. We are grateful for all of these contributions, both large and small.

If you value this church, please consider making a donation. Here are all the different ways to give to Thanington Parish Church.

Parish Giving Scheme

The Parish Giving Scheme provides a way for people to give either a one-off donation or a regular monthly donation to the church by direct debit.  It is secure, confidential, and easy to use. For UK taxpayers, Parish Giving will also claim tax relief from HMRC through the government gift-aid scheme. This increases the value of the gift by 25% at no cost to yourself. To give this way, visit www.parishgiving.org.uk and search for Thanington.
