Giving
You are a full member of our churches whether or not you can give financially.
However, we are dependent on donations from our members. If you are able to give financially, please would you set up a regular donation via the Parish Giving Scheme.
You can still give via cash or card, but regular giving via PGS makes accounting and budgeting much easier for our volunteers– meaning we can spend more time caring for our community!
You can choose to give directly to the parish or an individual church:
