A Note from the Treasurer

Note from the Treasurer
I am pleased to tell you that the Organ Restoration Appeal has raised the £66,000
needed and will now be brought to a successful close. My thanks go to all of you
who have worked hard with the fundraising efforts and donated so generously
through the last four years and the pandemic. What a wonderful effort!
It is good to see pandemic restrictions lifted and more people returning to the
Church. However, the Church still has a long way to go to rebuild its funds to a safe
level and anything you can give will be much appreciated. The Church has a
responsibility to make a meaningful contribution to the cost of its ministry and to
cover its own running costs, which is increasingly challenging. The Quinquennial
Report has identified some essential building repairs costing many thousands of
pounds which are recommended to be carried out within the next twelve months. As
we look to the future and the implementation of the Shaped-By-God initiative it will
be essential that our church finances become sustainable.

1. By direct debit through the Parish Giving Scheme, for which you can now sign up
   for (or amend your giving) on telephone number 0333 002 1271. Please have at
