Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We are appealing for donations from the congregation, residents of Dedworth and other supporters to help the church at this time when our costs are rising and regular cash income has stopped.
Our workload has increased significantly at this time. Much amazing work is happening as we have moved our services and prayer times online and we support those in need with help, prayers and conversations.
With the church closed, we face a significant decline of cash/cheque income. There are no Cash collections, no Envelope income, no Hall Rental and no Café income. In 2019 this income averaged £1,700 per month.
But we have to continue to make major payments which average £8,500 per month – e.g. Parish Share, Salaries, Website, Internet, heat/light etc. In addition, our costs are rising due to the closure – e.g. printing/postage of the weekly newsletter, music streaming licence for online worship, Conference Call costs for prayer, meetings etc.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the All Saints Dedworth bank account. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the church. If you are a tax payer then please tick the Gift Aid box and give your details. Gift Aid will automatically be collected and raises your donation by 25%.
Your donations will help us to do all the amazing work that is going on in this difficult time. On behalf of the PCC and all those working hard behind the scenes we send many thanks for your support.
Stay safe, keep healthy. God Bless.
Peter Norris, Treasurer, All Saints Church, Dedworth
