Legacy Policy

St Margaret of Antioch, Wellington

At St Margaret’s, we welcome all gifts in wills, however large or small and we promise to use your gift to make a difference to our parish. Our PCC Legacy Policy is to use gifts to help us achieve our Christian ministry and to ensure the continued availability of our church building for use by the community, be it for worship, quiet prayer, occasional offices or social events.

Since needs change over the years, we encourage you to leave a gift in your will for the general purposes of church life rather than for something specific. We will discuss possible uses of your gift with your executors when the time comes, bearing in mind your known areas of interest in the work and ministry of the church (e.g. music, buildings, children and youth, overseas mission or aid) and the church’s priorities at the time.

You can be confident that your gift will be used to make a real difference to our future mission and ministry.

We acknowledge gifts in whatever way the donor and/or his/her executors feel most appropriate to. Equally, we can make sure that gifts remain anonymous if the donor prefers.

If you would like to talk to someone in confidence about the sorts of purposes your gift might fund, and how/if you would like your gift to be acknowledged, please contact Keith Brimley our PCC Treasurer on 01432 830712 or email [email protected]

If you would like to make a gift to our church in memoriam, please come and discuss this with us too. It can be a wonderful and appropriate way to remember a loved one.
