Parish Giving Scheme
It is becoming clear that not many of our regular donors have changed to the new Parish Giving Scheme. Every regular donor has received the pack explaining what this is all about, and we urge you to think seriously about doing so. The form is very easy to fill in and will only take five minutes. New donors can find the packs available at the back of the churches.
