This year we are running a campaign to make giving in our churches as easy as possible. Everyone is welcome in our churches whether they can give financially or not. However, we are always grateful for your support which keeps our work going.

Why give to us?
Our vision
We aim to be a church for all in Benwell & Scotswood. We are guided by two simple principles given to us by Jesus: to love God and to love our neighbour.
What we do
We are one parish with four churches. Our buildings are sacred places at the heart of the community offering worship to God and care and support to all, whatever their background and belief.
We are home to foodbanks, welfare support, community groups, art clubs, dance classes, lunch clubs, children and youth work, refugee support, and so much more!
We keep the story of our area alive, we keep these local landmarks standing, maintain memorials to war and mining disasters, and are the final resting place of many generations of residents. We ensure these are places for heritage to be celebrated and also for culture and community to grow and develop.
How we do this
We only do this through your generous support, both financially and with the gifts of your time and prayer.
We have two full-time clergy and lots of incredibly dedicated volunteers who work hard to care for the community. The cost of the clergy is partially subsidised thanks to the generous support of other parishes through Church of England, but otherwise we don’t receive any financial help.
We apply to funders for grants, so that our members are not burdened, but ultimately our churches belong to you and exist because of your generous giving.
