PLANNED GIVING SCHEME:
It would be a great help to the parish if you are able to donate your offerings each week through the Planned Giving envelope scheme or by standing order. If you are also able to ‘Gift Aid’ your donation, as a taxpayer, the parish would receive a further 25% of your donation in tax relief from HMRC, without any cost to yourself. Application forms are in the porch at the back of the church. Thank you.
