The Giving Week is an opportunity for you to give towards the vision of St John’s. We are very thankful for the extraordinary generosity of Church Members earlier in the year which was set aside for the Low Port Centre, and this Giving Week is to support our day to day spending. This funds our local ministry, staff, and running costs.
The Church is nearly entirely funded by donations from Church Members, and we depend on significant one off giving to support the ongoing ministry. In the budget agreed by the Church Members for 2023, 74% of our donation income is planned to come from regular giving, and the balance is from one off giving. Of this, £25,000 is our target for the Giving Week, to add to one off gifts already given this year.
Alongside this, the Giving Week provides the chance for each of us to reflect on regular giving to the Church and consider starting or increasing this.
Have a look at our Autumn Vision Report, and if you would like more information on the finances, then please read the Trustee Report included or speak to one of the Trustees.
