Methods of Giving

Did you know that it costs £2,150 per week to pay for the upkeep of the church, its activities and the clergy?

Any donation you can give will be gratefully received. If you are able to consider increasing your donations by just 5% this will make a significant difference to our income. Of course, if you can increase the sum by more, this would be wonderful.
