BANKER'S ORDERS, GIFT AID AND WILLS

It assists us with the safe handling of cash. Have you signed a Gift Aid Form?
If you pay tax, then every £1 you give to the Parish is worth £1.28

is hitting everyone. Thanks for the support you manage to give the Parish.

are being sent cost around 50p, which is a tiny fraction of what is spent on children

pencil, Christmas card and party toy. These items are being collected in school
between 19 and 30 October. Please pray for our success.

PROTECTION
OF CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE ADULTS - MISSION STATEMENT

individual person within God's purpose for everyone. It seeks to safeguard the
welfare of people of all ages who are involved in whatever capacity with
the Church and its organisations. As a Church community, we accept that it is
the responsibility of all of us, ordained, professed, paid and
voluntary members, to work together to prevent the physical, sexual, emotional
abuse or neglect of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
