Organ Restoration Appeal

You can donate to the restoration of our organ here

A Note from the Treasurer

Note from the Treasurer
It is good that our Church building has been able to reopen for services again as the
community cautiously emerges from the pandemic restrictions. However, the Church
finances have been severely impacted through the crisis and can only recover over
time with your help.
The inability to hold fundraising events also means that the Organ Restoration
Appeal is short of the restoration cost by approximately £7,500 at the time of writing.
A Quinquennial inspection report on the church building is imminent which could
identify further essential repair costs.
Your Church is now approaching a situation where it will struggle to remain solvent.
The Clergy and PCC are appreciative of your contributions and recognise that many
of you have your own financial challenges at this time, but please maintain your
giving and if anyone feels they can give more this would be very welcome.
If you wish to make a donation then you can do so in the following ways:-

1. By direct debit through the Parish Giving Scheme. It is now possible for you to
   register and to manage your giving online at www.parishgivingscheme.org.uk or
   contact them by telephone on 0333 002 1260.
2. By cheque made payable to “St Andrews Parochial Church Council” and post to
   me at 67 Conaglen Road, Leicester LE2 8LE. If your donation is for the Organ
   Restoration Appeal then please make the cheque payable to “St Andrew’s
   Initiative Account”.
3. By a direct online BACS payment to the church account, St Andrews Parochial
   Church Council, account number 77068302, sort code 090151. For the Organ
   Restoration Appeal it should be to St Andrew’s Initiative Account, account
   number 44551186, sort code 090156. Please quote ref “donation” in all cases.
