| Gift Aid | |||||
| This scheme for aid to charities replaces the Covenant Scheme and is very much simpler and less formal. If you pay tax you can, by signing a very simple form, increase your offerings to the church by almost 30% at no cost whatever to yourself. You are assured of complete confidentiality, make no disclosures about your income and give whatever you think appropriate. Your support in this way brings great financial benefit to our parish. | |||||

It caters for babies and toddlers up to the age of three, in a relaxed and informal group which allows the children to play together whilst their parents or carers get a short well-earned break. The group provides a variety of art and craft activities with parties held each term. All new parents/carers and their children are most welcome. | |||||

| 200 Club | |||||
| This enables up to two hundred people to donate a sum of money, currently £20, which is invested at the start of the year and produces a series of money prizes during the year. The balance of the money is then donated to the parish for the upkeep and devlopment of the church. Projects have included renovation of the kneelers, new hymn books and refurbishment of the church organ. | |||||
