DID YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SUPPORT YOUR CHURCH, EVEN WHEN YOU’RE ARE NOT HERE?

Our expenditure amounts to approximately £1,400 per week
This includes £850.11 per week which goes to the Diocese for our “share”.
Last weeks donations were as follows:
Planned Giving £315.20 (including standing orders) - Collections £305.60
Our income tax claim produces the equivalent of an additional £170 per week.
The shortfall is made up from fundraising—such as fetes and concerts etc
If you pay income tax—in each chair can be found a yellow giving envelope. Loose collection can be placed in these envelopes, completing the details requested (this will enable us to reclaim 28p in every £1 from the inland revenue). If you are a non-tax payer, please put your loose collection straight into the collection bags when they are passed around during the service.
Through our Planned Giving Scheme, you can commit a regular amount in order that we may be able to rely on a predictable income to meet our needs and responsibilities. We need new members to consider joining the Planned Giving Scheme—contact John Sprackling Our Hon. Treasurer—(01202) 751553 or email sprackling@branksomepark.freeserve.co.uk
