St. Chad's Gifting for 2009

St Chad 's always gives 10% of its parochial giving income to a selection of charities. This year the sum available for distribution is £9,950.

The policy of charitable giving approved by the PCC is as follows:-

•  Charities supported need not have an explicit Christian connection, though all should be carrying out the Christian mission enjoined in Matthew 25: 35-36

•  Local, national, & overseas charities are eligible for support, though no fixed proportion will be assigned to each category

•  Given the limited funds available, preference will be given to smaller (usually local) charities with a limited range of other support, so that our relatively small contribution will make a greater difference

•  Notwithstanding that, small contributions may be given to large Christian charities to indicate continuing support for their mission.

 

 

The PCC has endorsed the following allocations made by the Community Engagement Committee:-
