Gift Aid
How to make your donations to the Church 28% bigger!
Why?
All Saints costs about £70,000 a year to run. This
includes the costs of
maintenance and servicing (heating, lighting etc.) of the beautiful
building, plus our share of Fr. Kevin's stipend and the central costs
needed for maintaining and improving Vicarages, training new priests,
supporting poorer parishes etc.
How?
Most of this money needs to come from voluntary donations from all of
us, either by regular giving or one-offs. If you are a UK taxpayer the
Church can claim from the Inland Revenue an extra 28% of whatever you
give. All you need to do is to put you name and address on a very simple
Gift-Aid declaration form, which we will provide. Then any
gifts from
you via the numbered envelopes or any other traceable method will have
the extra benefit of Gift Aid.
If you would like more information about this, please contact David
Walters, or Jill Beardwood.
Parish Electoral Roll
What is it?
The ‘Electoral Roll’ is a
list of everybody who can attend the Annual Parochial Church Meeting.
What happens at the
Annual Parochial Church meeting?
Everyone who ‘belongs’ to
All Saints and is on the Parish Electoral Roll is offered the chance to take a further
part in the life of the parish. There
will be discussions about what the Parochial Church Council (PCC) has done
during the year and what plans, ideas and issues need to be considered for the
future. The accounts are presented and
elections for places on the PCC take place.
It is a good opportunity to see how the church administration works and
to contribute your views, and opinions.
Who can be on the Parish
Electoral Roll?
Anyone is eligible who
is baptised and aged 16 or over and who either
is a member of
the Church of England (or of a Church in communion with the Church of England)
and lives within the parish boundaries
or
is a member of
the Church of England (or of a Church in communion with the Church of England)
and is not resident in the parish but has habitually attended public worship in
the parish during the last six months
or
is a member in
good standing of a Church (not in communion with the Church of England) which
subscribes to the doctrine of the Holy Trinity and declares him or herself to
be a member of the Church of England and has habitually attended public worship
in the parish during the last six months.
If you are interested do
take a form (back of church or churchwardens or Fr Kevin) or click here either for yourself or for someone else.
