Giving

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) oversees the day to day provision of ministry, pastoral outreach, provision of our Church services and maintenance of our Churches, Churchyards and cemetery. Annual running costs for our two Listed Churches currently exceed £20,000 per annum.

Funds need to be maintained and raised each year as we do not receive Diocesan or grant support for running costs. Donations are greatly appreciated, alongside the Offertory Plate at our Church Services or by a regular standing order.

Fundraising at our various social events also assists. We invite you to join the many members of All Saints, Wakes Colne and St Barnabas, Chappel who support the work of the church regularly by standing order, and for instance by taking part in our monthly Church Lottery 100 Group. Monthly giving is vital to our mission as it enables us to plan and guide our cashflow. We are so very grateful to those who contribute in this way.
