Parish Survey
We are looking to update our Parish database so we call upon your help. We ask that you provide your details for yourself and your household. It also provides an opportunity for people to let us know of any skills or previous experience you may have with working in parishes before and how you wish to contribute to the life of the parish. We very much appreciate your help and contribution with this.
Giving to the Parish
Did you know that you can make your ‘First Collection’ offering right here on the website? You can donate online via the secure ‘Give a Little’ page. Donations can be ‘One-off’ or you can setup a recurring ‘Monthly’ donation. If you are a U.K. tax payer then please consider ‘Gift Aiding’ your donation – the Parish will be able to claim back from the Government an additional 25% of the value of anything you give. Thank you, we really appreciate your generosity!
