Charitable Giving

St Mary’s and All Saints have an established Charitable Giving Committee (CGC) responsible for the selection and distribution of all charitable funds raised annually on behalf of the Parish. These UK and overseas charities are selected by the CGC and agreed by the PCC.

All charities and beneficiaries are chosen in accordance with the Charitable Giving Policy and have direct links with our Parish and congregation.

Fundraising comes from a variety of events such as dedicated collections at special services in Church but the main source of funding comes from our Church fete held in June every year. Our Charitable Giving is around £10,000 annually.
