In 2001the Giving Committee decided to replace the previous method of giving, which had been on an annual one off basis, with a strategy of donating a proportion of the total amount available (10% of the church’s direct income - the church‘s tithe) to charities/projects on a five year commitment basis as well as annual one off grants.

It was also decided that the recipients of the donations in both groups should reflect a balance of local and national/international charities/projects.

 A five year cycle has recently come to an end and the Committee will this year review the strategy and policy for the future. It will then identify projects and charities that will be in receipt of donations, details of which will then be posted on our web site.

In addition to the donations decided upon by the Committee the church gives money by way of special collections.
