Please support our churches.

Due to COVID-19, we're not able to cover the costs of running our 6 beautiful churches at the moment. Please be aware that we get no financial support from the Government or the Church of England. For those who give regularly or have made a donation, thank you for your generous support - it really does make a difference. If you are finding our ministry helpful during these difficult times, or even just have a soft spot for the church buildings (which will reopen at some point!!), please consider supporting us financially by going to the link below and making a donation. If you wish your donation to go to a specific Church, please specify when you make your donation. If not, it will be split across all 6 churches. Thank you.
