Finance Committee

Let the Taxman contribute towards your contribution to the Church.

The Government introduced a revised Gift Aid Scheme in April 2000 allowing any Taxpayer to make Charitable contributions by either Bankers Order, cheque or cash. This allows us to claim back the tax element at the basic rate of (22%) on any contributions you make to the Church at the Offertory, 2nd and special collections. If you would like details, please e-mail the Parish and one of our Gift-Aid Officers will be pleased to provide you with details.

200 Club

Members contribute £12 a year and have the chance of winning a £50 prize each month or a £100 prize twice a year. The money goes towards defined projects in the parish. Contact Liz Owen.

Fund-Raising

Our main fund raising requirement is for Building Maintenance, see below. To meet this debt we hold regular fund-raising social events and we also look for outright gifts and bequests.

Fund raisers are required. Do you have any experience or expertise or enthusiasm? If so, please contact Michael Maher.

Current Financial Position (September 2010)

The St. Joan's Centre and the new organ have now been paid for out of parish funds. However, the flat roofs over the side aisles are in desparate need of major repairs and something like £60,000 will be needed to carry out this work.

The lighting needs to be improved and then the interior of the church badly needs re-decorating. This is a major task costing some £100,000. Please keep up the fund-raising and your donations.
