Charities & Fundraising

200 Club
Annual membership of the club costs £12 per share per year and there is no limit to the number of shares each subscriber may hold.

In January each year, existing members are invited to renew their membership for another year but new members are welcome to join at any time during the year. In recent years, all profits from the 200 Club (around £1000 each year) have been donated to the parish project, a fund raising initiative. The project is a fund-raising initiative chosen annually by the parish pastoral council.
