All churches pay Parish Share to the Diocese - this is their monetary contribution to the cost of clergy, vicarages and the administration of the diocese.

The weekly giving from our generous parishioners and other donations go towards paying our Parish Share, but do not cover the full amount, so we need to hold fundraising events to enable us to meet our commitment.

The Bible talks a lot about our finances and God invites us into joyful, generous and sacrificial giving. That’s a challenge for us all. Does this describe your giving?

There are many ways to donate to the work of our churches - weekly or monthly giving by standing order, weekly giving in sealed envelopes, direct debit. Plus registering with Easy Fundraising, where each time you buy anything online there is an automatic donation by the seller, without any cost to you.

If you are a UK tax payer, you will increase your donation by 25% if you apply Gift Aid!

Please ask your church Treasurer for more information.

Our work together grows out of Jesus’s Great Commandment which is to:

‘love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind…and love your neighbour as yourself.’ (Matthew 22:36-40)
