Information on Financial Giving at St Marys

We want to begin by thanking everybody who give so generously to our church, last year in 2019 around £69,000 was given, through envelopes, donations given on the plate, standing orders and the Parish Giving Scheme and the HMRC Gift Aid Scheme- Thank You! There are lots of other fundraising  projects that help us enormously too. At this time of the coronavirus lockdown our income has very much disappeared and like many people we are struggling financially. New and innovative ways are emerging at the moment, so if you can support us, no matter how small a donation, it is very appreciated. Here are some ways of to support our church - and we are always open to hearing about other way of raising funds too. Just to say that by gift aiding any gift that does help enormously.
