Did you know it costs approximately £96,000 a year to maintain and run our beautiful church? As a registered charity, we rely entirely on donations and fundraising to sustain our church, its churchyard, and our church community.

While we prefer not to focus on finances, recent challenges, including the pandemic, have significantly impacted our income. With fewer opportunities for in-person donations and reduced revenue from our church hall, we must explore every possible way to raise funds to ensure our church remains a place of worship, reflection, and community.

How You Can Help?

If you are able to support St. Mark’s financially, there are several ways to contribute:

1. Donate Online

You can make a secure online donation through the Parish Giving Scheme. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.

2. Regular Planned Giving

Setting up a regular donation helps us to plan for the future and maintain the church’s upkeep. For more information, please visit the Planned Giving section below.

3. Leave a Legacy

Consider including St. Mark’s in your will to leave a lasting impact. For details on legacy giving, please refer to the Legacies section above.

4. Volunteer Your Time

If you would like to support us in ways beyond financial giving, we welcome volunteers to help with various church activities. Visit the Volunteers section above to learn more.

Planned Giving

While all giving is greatly appreciated at St. Marks. Planned Giving gives us the opportunity to know the exact amount of money we will receive each month or year and then we can set our budgets accordingly.   It also gives you peace of mind that you don’t have to remember to take money to Church every week, it is already taken care of.  This can be arranged as a direct debit from your bank account.  Our bank details are as follows:
