Supporting Holy Trinity, Prestwood
Most people think that the Church of England is rich. To some extent this is true, however this isn't true at a Parish Church level. We get no funding or grants from the government, local council or the Church of England - despite being the state established church.
We rely fully on the generosity of our congregation to survive, and to develop.
If you are wondering what local charity to support, perhaps you could consider making it Holy Trinity, Prestwood.
How much does it cost to run Holy Trinity, Prestwood?
We need over £150,000 a year - over £2,500 a week - to keep your Church open.
This covers:
- clergy and staff costs
- electricity, heating and water bills
- general maintenance
- building and grounds upkeep
- costs of our ministry to children, families and everyone living in the local community.
Give Regularly
We would like you to make a regular monthly payment, as this helps us to plan ahead.
The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) is a secure, established service for managing Direct Debit donations, designed to support churches to fund their mission and ministry.
One-off Donation
People make gifts to our church for all sorts of reasons. It may be in memory of a loved one, or to give thanks. You may want to support our work because you've heard about or seen for yourself our impact in the community. For whatever reason we are grateful for your gift and thank you for joining in with what God is doing here.
200 Club
The 200 Club is great way to support the church and give you the chance to win prizes too!
On the first Sunday of each month a draw will take place when 40% of the fund will be distributed as prizes:-
One prize of 10% of the fund to a maximum of £100
Two prizes of 5% of the fund to a maximum of £50 each
AND as many £25 prizes to bring the prize fund up to the 40%.
Legacies
Once you have made provision for your loved ones, you have the opportunity to make a lasting gift to Holy Trinity, Prestwood by leaving a legacy to the church. A gift in your Will is one of the most valuable and lasting ways you can continue to support our mission and ministry within your community. Unless otherwise specified, legacies to Holy Trinity, Prestwood are placed in a special legacies fund that we use for capital investment in new projects. We don't use legacies to fund day-to-day running costs
