Our period of Annual Giving launches this week on Sunday 11 May. An opportunity for anyone in our church community to make a one-off donation to the ongoing work of St Mark’s and to the costs associated with the maintenance and running of our church buildings. This year we are aiming to raise £20,000 including Gift Aid. We are looking to raise funds not only to meet running costs in 2025 but to build up some reserves for the future to meet costs as they arise. In our pledge to move closer to net-zero carbon we have already identified the need to replace our two ageing gas boilers and improve insulation in the hall. Please consider making a donation if you feel you are able. More details can be found here and as always, all donations are most gratefully received.
